Book Description

October 28, 2005
A superlative work of world literature, Miguel de Cervantes’s classic novel is a story about the human spirit. His characters Don Quijote and the loyal Sancho Panza, an idealist and a dreamer, have transcended the pages of the novel to become iconic figures in their own right. Illustrated 19th-century French artist Gustave Doré's intricate and imaginative engravings, which often are said to have put a face on Don Quijote, this luxurious box set of the two volumes of Don Quijote de la Mancha commemorates the 400th anniversary of the book’s publication.
Hace 400 años se imprimió un libro extraño y totalmente diferente a todo lo que se había escrito hasta el momento. Esta preciosa y lujosa publicación conmemorativa del IV Centenario de la primera edición de Don Quijote de la Mancha es un relato del espíritu humano, en donde Miguel Cervantes presenta don Quijote y su compañero Sancho Panzo, un soñador y un idealista. Contiene todas las ilustraciones que creó en el siglo XIX el francés Gustavo Doré, el más famoso de los artistas que se han dado a la tarea de ilustrar esta obra maestra, y el que para muchos ha determinado la imagen de Don Quijote. Esta valiosa joya editorial permitirá al lector disfrutar y apreciar una obra cumbre de la literatura universal.

1.0 out of 5 stars Review for Don Quijote ISBN 849764476X, April 20, 2011
Don't buy this edition. The binding is horrible. I no sooner opened this book, BRAND NEW, than it began falling apart.

3.0 out of 5 stars great illustrations - poor editing, May 24, 2006
This review is from: Don Quijote de la Mancha (Hardcover)
Dore's illustrations are fabulous and clearly reproduced, which is the reason I'm ordering this edition, however this book has an unbelievable number of typos which can be confusing to a student of Spanish.
As for the illustrations, Dore managed to capture the emotion and humor of the story in each drawing. They are too good to miss.
