书籍简介

塞万提斯编著的《堂吉诃德》是一部讽刺骑士小说的小说。主人公堂吉诃德因沉迷于骑士小说，决定外出历险，做一名行侠仗义的骑士。他找来同村的农民桑丘·潘沙作他的侍从，把邻村的一位农家女儿杜尔希尼亚作为他的意中人。他三次外出历险，作了许多可笑之事。他被化装成白月骑士的朋友打败，放弃行侠游历，回家不久后病倒。临死前，他醒悟到自己迷信骑士小说之过。塞万提斯通过堂吉诃德的故事嘲讽了流行一时的骑士小说，指出它们既违背现实的真实又缺乏艺术的真实。从此以后，骑士小说在西班牙和欧洲一蹶不振。

Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality, colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design.

Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading romances of chivalry that he determines to become a knight errant and pursue bold adventures, accompanied by his squire, the cunning Sancho Panza. As they roam the world together, the aging Quixote's fancy leads them wildly astray, tilting at windmills, fighting with friars, and distorting the rural Spanish landscape into a fantasy of impenetrable fortresses and wicked sorcerers. At the same time the relationship between the two men grows in fascinating subtlety. Often considered to be the first modern novel, Don Quixote is a wonderful burlesque of the popular literature its disordered protagonist is obsessed with.

作者简介

Miguel de Cervantes Saaverda's (1547-1616) life was occupied with a struggle to earn a livelihood from literature and humble government employment. As well as Don Quixote, he wrote a number of plays and a collection of highly accomplished short stories, Exemplary Tales (1613).
