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.

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!

Hillarious. Great Insight into Spain 400 Years Ago

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.
