Don Quixote Set (set of two books)

Four centuries ago, Cervantes set new demands on reality, expanded the horizons of the European novel, and the Knight of the Sorry Figure embarked on an eternal journey.
Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza, balancing between reality and illusion, between romantic madness and natural common sense, cast two recognizable shadows that stretch across the plain of centuries and reach us. This effect of recognition is enhanced by the brilliant graphics of Gustave Doré, the best illustrator of the immortal novel.

«Don Quixote makes a noble decision to revive and restore to the colorless world the bright calling of wandering chivalry with its special strict code and all its dazzling mirages, passions, and feats». — V. Nabokov

The edition is supplemented with the famous illustrations by Gustave Doré, a preface and notes by Viktor Andreev, a well-known Hispanist and translator of works by Latin American authors. The interior design features illustrations by Gustave Doré.
