Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

This Penguin Classic is performed by Kayvan Novak, Josh Cohen, Alistair Petrie, and Richard Hughes.

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. 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.

un-reviewable. more a passage of life to be experienced than a novel to be read. all boundaries were pushed. an absolute trip. this should no doubt be preserved and studied. one listen isnt going to be enough.

5 stars doesnt do it justice where is the 6th star.

Although long, definitely worth the listen. One you can pick up and put down as you like and still feel up-to-date and immersed. Would recommend.

Great boom, great narrator

This book covers all the bases from comedy, drama, and philosophy. It’s seamlessly paradoxical in the best way from slapstick comedy, to social commentary, and sound good sense on morality and life philosophy.. The character and plot development is superb. At 30 plus hours it grabs you the whole time in my opinion. I know this is a translation and cannot be 100% original. But I feel like the authors have done a wonderful job of communicating comedic and philosophical elements well.. The content is so rich that it seems timeless. Im planning on buying a hardcover of the book, and would recommend to listen.

Brilliant, one of my favourite books
