This enchanting translation and abridgment of the immortal story of Don Quixote of La Mancha by the noted scholar Walter Starkie brings the modern reader Cervantes' great classic in its most enjoyable form. Humor, insight, compassion and knowledge of the world underlie the antic adventures of the lanky knight clad in rusty armor and his earthy squire Sancho Panza. The unforgettable characters they encounter on their famous pilgrimage from a brilliant panorama of society and human behavior. As pertinent today as when it was first written, Don Quixote ranks among the great works of all time.

Step by step, Marcus Cunliffe traces the childhhod, the growth, the failures and achievements of George Washington. He shws us a real person -- fallible, ambitious, impatient of criticism, but of iron integrity--maturing from an eager youth to a wiser man. Cunliffe portrays the destiny of America, as it was mirrored for all time in the man who fought ambitions, uncertainties, and loneliness...who lived through Valley Forge and longed for home...who accepted the presidency and desired peaceful retirement...a man, with all his humanity, triumphant over the monument.
