      I hadn't realized that what I had read of Don Quixote in high school was only about half the book. There are so many more stories here! I love how the book is stories within stories all focused around Don Quixote's belief that he's a chivalrous knight. He drags others through his adventures and they decide that his books of fiction, which obviously caused his dementia, are too dangerous. The stories serve to point out that great works of fiction add to our lives by providing escape and entertainment and are not dangerous at all.
    • 5/5
      For me, this story has been a life-long favorite. Our word "quixotic," meaning 'impulsive, exceedingly idealistic, likely to be deluded' is inspired by the protagonist. However, who are the insane ones, he and Sancho, or the rest of society?
    • 3/5
      Famous lunatic wanderings of a would-be knight errant and his trusty squire. The gentle humor (graphic knightly assaults notwithstanding) has fared well over the ages.
    • 4/5
      For me, it was not so much the famous story line, rather the tangents that the book runs off to in the latter half of the book that makes it a wonderful book. The story is good, but the little short stories that appear with regularity make it a beautiful book. It took me a bit to accomodate to the written language, it was a bit heavy and lengthy for my taste. Once I did, I loved the book. Mayhaps you will like it too!

    DON QUIXOTE

    by Miguel de Cervantes

    Translated by John Ormsby

    Volume I.,  Part 2.

    Chapters 4-5

    Ebook Editor's Note

    The book cover and spine above and the images which follow were not part of the original Ormsby translation—they are taken from the 1880 edition of J. W. Clark, illustrated by Gustave Dore. Clark in his edition states that, The English text of 'Don Quixote' adopted in this edition is that of Jarvis, with occasional corrections from Motteaux. See in the introduction below John Ormsby's critique of both the Jarvis and Motteaux translations. It has been elected in the present Project Gutenberg edition to attach the famous engravings of Gustave Dore to the Ormsby translation instead of the Jarvis/Motteaux. The detail of many of the Dore engravings can be fully appreciated only by utilizing the Enlarge button to expand them to their original dimensions. Ormsby in his Preface has criticized the fanciful nature of Dore's illustrations; others feel these woodcuts and steel engravings well match Quixote's dreams.            D.W.
