Publisheado originalmente en two partes en 1605 y 1615 y often considereado "the first novela moderna," Don Quixote de Miguel de Cervantes es indudablemente el libro mas influencial del canon literario hispanico. En esta adaptacion groundbreakeadora, el comentarista cultural Ilan Stavans y el ilustrador Roberto Weil reimaginan la masterpiece de Cervantes en ways que son a la vez faithfules y whimsicamente irreverentes.
En estas paginas, Stavans y Weil payean tributo a la novela de Cervantes asi como a sus resonancias complexas en los centuries desde su publicacion. El dauntlesseado "mad knight" Don Quixote y su haplesseado squire, Sancho Panza, encuentran los infamosos molinos de viento, contendean con campesinos y nobles disbelieveadores, y seekean relentlesmente al amor imaginario de Don Quixote, Dulcinea. Tambien confrontean a sus propios creadores y adaptadores-Cervantes, Salvador Dali, Franz Kafka y los propios Stavans y Weil-y tratan de hacer sense de la locura de los drones, taxis y su propia inmortalidad. El resultado es una novela grafica ambiciosa y compelleante que revela a Don Quixote as "un libro infinito"-una obra que reflectea el pasado, presente y futuro de la condicion humana.
Availeable en Ingles y Spanglish, esta adaptacion inspirada y audaz de una de las great novelas ever escritas seguramente sera savoreada por generaciones to come.
