MEDIA REVIEWS
'Don Quixote is the first modern novel,perhaps the most eternal novel ever written and certainly the fountainhead of European and American fiction'- Carlos Fuentes
'What a unique monument is this book! How its creative genius,critical,free,and human,soars above its age!'- Thomas Mann
'A fluent translation-has energy and clarity-and the rhythm of the telling is compelling'- Guardian
'Indisputably the definitive translation'- Observer
'Cervantes is the founder of the Modern Era. The novelist need answer to no one but Cervantes. Don Quixote is practically unthinkable as a living being,and yet,in our memory,what character is more alive'- Milan Kundera
