About this listen
The most influential work of the entire Spanish literary canon and a founding work of modern Western literature, Don Quixote is also one of the greatest works ever written. Hugely entertaining but also moving at times, this episodic novel is built on the fantasy life of one Alonso Quixano, who lives with his niece and housekeeper in La Mancha. Quixano, obsessed by tales of knight errantry, renames himself "Don Quixote" and, with his faithful servant Sancho Panza, goes on a series of quests. Many of these adventures, including tilting at windmills, are established in European literary consciousness.
Originally published in two volumes a decade apart (in 1605 and 1615), Don Quixote has been brought to life in its entirety in this audiobook.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Worth visiting this classic
I have always wanted to read this story but never had the time so I was delighted to be able to listen to it while driving around in. I laughed and cried at this tragic character.

Hillarious. Great Insight into Spain 400 Years Ago
This is one of the funniest books I have ever read and transports you to Spain 400 years ago. So simply written and accessible it is hard to believe this was written over 400 years ago. It tells the story of the crazy adventures of Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza as well as the many people they meet on their travels, which really amounts to a sequence of short stories. The greatest value, apart from the humour, is the insight you get into the beliefs and ways of thinking of people living in Spain at the time. Top Read!

Very well Narated
A brilliant story both entertaining and touching. The language the author usues is exceptional. The narrator does a brilliant kob throughout, a good version for an audiobook.

Great classic tale of adventure & misadventures
This is a great story and well read ,with a few wayward accents, but nothing substantial. the characters and themes are timeless. Highly recommended.

A Fantastic Listen
I wasn't entirely sure what I was getting myself in for by buying this, but it's fair to say that it's fantastic! Both charming and puzzling, funny and sad, the stories in this book offer a very interesting view of life in the 17th Century. It's more than just an adventure, as the social and literary commentary and criticism is plain to read. The writing is poetic, lyrical and laced with venom. At times it wanders and it can seem repetitive, but it's all comes around, with plots intersecting. History will say this is the true first novel, and I can see why, because so many of the themes and the format live to this day. The very first buddy comedy adventure and so much more. An absolute must for history fans who can read between the lines and see the observations on those times.
The narration is absolutely fantastic too, brining everyone to life so beautifully.
