The first great novel - and perhaps still the most influential - Don Quixote contains within it all the seeds of modern fiction. A fantastic compound of reality and illusion in which the besotted Don Quixote and his down-to-earth companion,the faithful Sancho Panza,set out to right the world's wrongs in knightly combat,the narrative moves from philosophical speculation to broad comedy,taking in pastoral,farce and fantasy on the way.
Between the Don's dreams of chivalry which inaugurate the novel,and his death which concludes it,Cervantes explores a range of experience and feeling worthy of his great contemporary,Shakespeare.
