MIGUEL DE CERVANTES
Don Quijote
A New Translation by Burton Raffel
A masterful new translation that comes as close as possible to re-creating the inimitable style of Cervantes' prose.
One of the world's great novels, Don Quijote chronicles the adventures of that bumbling, infinitely compassionate knight and his shrewdly simple squire, Sancho Panza, in all their splendid humor.
"Burton Raffel's translation of Don Quijote is fluent, strong, and engagingly readable. The narrative skill is such that we are soon willing to believe that Raffel is Cervantes reborn and writing in English."—Guy Davenport
"A most compelling volume indeed. Readers encountering Cervantes' boundless text in English will delight in this superb book."—Anthony J. Carcardi, University of California, Berkeley
Burton Raffel teaches at the University of Southwestern Louisiana. He is a prize-winning translator of Rabelais' Gargantua and Pantagruel (Norton) and other works.
