Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes
After a lifetime of reading books on chivalry in his library, Don Quixote embarks on a comedic journey through medieval Spain with his servant Sancho Panza, in a series of clumsy adventures rescuing those even more hopeless than himself. This edition is abridged, to offer a less daunting, more accessible version of the work to the reader.
