The History of Don Quixote Part 2 by Miguel Cervantes

Part 2 of Don Quixote showcases some of Gustave Dor 's most powerful imagery to tell the unforgettable story of Don Quixote.

First published in the 1600's by Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote is regarded by many as history's greatest piece of literature, made even better when enhanced by the spectacular artwork of Gustave Dor . This Retro Restoration includes:
- Full-size 8 1/2 x 11 pages
- Crisp digitally re-scanned and enhanced images
- Bold new cover design
- Author's original page layouts
- Classic type font
- English printing with illustration captions

Don Quixote Part 2 concludes the two-part saga of Don Quixote de la Mancha and Sancho Panza as they heroically travel in pursuit of adventure and the knowledge of what it means to be human. Don Quixote's vivid imagination is rivaled only by the creative vision of Dor , who gives the armor-clad aspiring knight and his companions the charismatic and iconic look for which they are still remembered today.

The CGR Publishing Restoration Workshop spared no expense when restoring, cleaning, and digitally remastering a rare, mint copy of Don Quixote for a new generation of readers. Dor 's crisp illustrations explode from the pages with incredible detail to liven Cervantes' unforgettable storytelling. Many regard Don Quixote as Dor 's best work, showcasing his skills as a technical illustrator and gifted, humorous cartoonist.

The prodigal French artist unleashed a nonstop barrage of humorous cartoons, caricatures, and adorable scribbles that highlight the humor and imagination of Cervantes' character and his relationship to those around him. Dor also created some of his most outstanding full-page work filled with intricate details that tell stories within the story. Don Quixote is a sight to behold and a thrill to read. Don Quixote Parts 1 and 2 contain 370 illustrations, many of them full-page
