书籍简介

《唐·吉诃德》（又译作《堂吉诃德》《堂·吉诃德》等）是西班牙作家塞万提斯·萨维德拉于1605年和1615年分两部分出版的长篇反骑士小说。

故事发生时，骑士早已绝迹一个多世纪，但主角阿隆索·吉哈诺（唐·吉诃德原名）却因为沉迷于骑士小说，时常幻想自己是个中世纪骑士，进而自封为“唐·吉诃德·德·拉曼却”（拉曼却地区的守护者），拉着邻居桑丘·潘沙做自己的仆人，“行侠仗义”、游走天下，做出了种种与时代相悖、令人匪夷所思的行径，结果四处碰壁。但从梦幻中苏醒过来。回到家乡后死去。

文学评论家称《唐·吉诃德》是西方文学史上的一部现代小说，也是世界文学的瑰宝之一。

--------

堂吉诃德，一个瘦高的稻草人，面容憔悴，下巴突出，身披锈迹斑斑的盔甲，骑上破旧的骏马罗齐南特。他手持长矛，仍然在我们的生活中驰骋，身后跟着大腹便便的侍从桑乔·潘沙。

沃尔特·斯塔基用这些话为塞万提斯的伟大经典著作的译本和删节本作了介绍，这本书广受好评，让全世界几代读者为之着迷。

这本书充满幽默感，富有理想主义和朴实的常识，对各行各业的男男女女的刻画生动逼真——贵族、牧师、热情的少女、朴实的乡下姑娘、流氓和浪漫主义者——堂吉诃德，在这个充满激情的译本中，将赢得许多新朋友。

Don Quixote, a lanky scarecrow of a man with his withered face and lantern jaw, dons his rusty armour and mounts his ramshackle steed, Rozinante. With lance couched he still rides through our lives, followed by his potbellied squire Sancho Panza.&;

With these words, Walter Starkie launches the introduction to his highly esteemed translation and abridgment of Cervantes&;s great classic&;a book that has enchanted generations of readers throughout the world.

Brimming with humor, rich in idealism and earthy common sense, vivid in its characterizations of men and women from every walk of life&;nobles, priests, impassioned damsels, simple country girls, rogues, and romantics&;Don Quixote, in this zestful translation, will win many new friends.

作者简介

米盖尔·德·塞万提斯·萨维德拉（1547—1616），文艺复兴时期西班牙的小说家、剧作家、诗人。

塞万提斯写的是剧本，以悲剧《奴曼西亚》（1584年）成功。其他作品有短篇小说《惩恶扬善的故事》（1613年）、长诗《巴尔纳斯游记》（1614年）、《八出喜剧和八出幕间短剧集》（1615年）以及一些诗歌。他在50多岁后开始写作长篇小说《堂吉诃德》。

沃尔特·斯塔基是西班牙历史和文化的专家、杰出的讲师、学者和作家，在都柏林大学担任教授二十多年。从 1940 年到 1955 年，他担任马德里英国研究所所长。

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616) found some initial success as a playwright. From 1571 through 1575, he fought with the Spanish fleet and served in garrisons throughout Italy. He was then captured by the Turks in Algiers and held prisoner for five years. Upon his return to Spain, he held various government posts but faced constant financial hardship and served two terms in prison. His fame was secured with the publication of Don Quixote (1605) and its sequel, which was published shortly before his death.

Walter Starkie, noted authority on Spanish history and culture, eminent lecturer, scholar and writer, was for more than twenty years a professor at Dublin University. From 1940 to 1955, he was director of the British Institution in Madrid.
