  • The Adventures of Don Quixote

    Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, W. Heath Robinson

    Hardcover (State Street Press, July 6, 2002)
    Excerpt from Adventures of Don QuixoteTo appreciate Don Quixote, we have no need for lengthy introductions. To understand him, read, and appreciation will come. Cervantes wished to, reveal in their true light, the farcical, extravagant, nonsensical Libros ale Caballeria (books on knight-errantry), which put forth a false ideal, ignoring the true chivalry of a true knight, and by this false ideal did great harm in Spain. The result was Don Quixote, which is at the same time a novel, a satire, a history and a picture of Spanish life. Do not thinkthat Cer vantes mocked the great' ideals of chivalry. He loved truth, uprightness and courage - his own career provesw tihs - but he wished to Show that valour, generosity, hope and justice were the bases of chivalric life. Don Quixote has been thought to be mad, but if mad ness consists in going through the world seeking to combat ignorance, cruelty, superstition and roguery, we must confess that he was not sane, and saw life in a mirage of the vicious books on chivalry.Sancho Panza is a very human personage. He is a peasant, ignorant but shrewd, who accompanies a master keen to fight injustice, knavery, and to pro tect the poor and the humble, but who, with a greater knowledge of mankind, tries to protect him from those self-seekers who might impose upon his good nature and his eagerness to help the oppressed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

    Stephanie Sommerlad Bello, Laura Pinter

    Paperback (Plum Street Press, April 24, 2019)
    Have you ever wondered about what's beyond that which you can easily see? There is a hidden world behind the furniture, beneath the floorboards, between the walls - a world in which all creatures, especially small ones, can become great. In this world, Trinket is an unlikely hero. She doesn't fit the typical hero model - she's petite, a little too pretty, and quite precocious. Trinkett's explorations of the bric-a-brac left behind by others always leads her to finding something useful for her father's thrift shop. On Trinkett's latest mission she discovers something amazing; something she thinks is special. Little does she realize how truly special it is. Not only does she discover a lost treasure, she finds herself, her courage, and her ability to put others' needs first.Have you ever found something like that?
