Vol. 1. Contained herein are the true adventures of the valorous knight Don Quixote de la Mancha, invented by Miguel de Cervantes and published in 1605. Cervantes conceived of Don Quixote whilst he was imprisoned in Seville -- vol. 2. Contained herein is the second volume of the adventures of Don Quixote de la Mancha, completed by Miguel de Cervantes some ten years after the first. Between the release of Cervantes' two volumes , a spurious second volume was published. This version was written by an impostor who prefaced his book with a chain of insults aimed at Cervantes, chastising him for his age, crippled hand, poverty, criminal record, big nose, bad breath.. |
| Summary |
Presents a graphic novel adaptation of the Cervantes classic in which Don Quixote de la Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, travel through Spain and become subject to the noble knight-errant's fanciful imagination |
|
"More than 400 years ago, Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616) sent his irrepressible optimist of a hero out to tilt at windmills-- and Don Quixote and his philosophical squire, Sancho Panza, still remain among the world's most popular and entertaining figures, as well as the archetypes for the tall, thin straight man and his short, stocky comic sidekick. In this terrific adaptation of the Cervantes classic, Rob Davis uses innovative paneling and an interesting color palette to bring the Knight-Errant to life. This is sequential storytelling and art at its finest, as we follow Don Quixote on his search for adventure and chivalrous quests-- and he will not be defeated by such foes as logic, propriety, or sanity"--From publisher's web site |
