{"product_id":"don-quixote-of-la-mancha-9780271082318","title":"Don Quixote of La Mancha","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in two parts in 1605 and 1615 and often considered \"the first modern novel,\" Miguel de Cervantes's \u003ci\u003eDon Quixote\u003c\/i\u003e is undoubtedly the most influential work in the Spanish literary canon. In this groundbreaking graphic adaptation, cultural commentator Ilan Stavans and illustrator Roberto Weil reimagine Cervantes's masterpiece in ways that are both faithful and whimsically irreverent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these pages, Stavans and Weil pay tribute to Cervantes's novel as well as its complex resonances in the centuries since its publication. The dauntless \"mad knight\" Don Quixote and his hapless squire, Sancho Panza, encounter the infamous windmills, contend with disbelieving peasants and noblemen, and seek relentlessly for Quixote's imaginary love, Dulcinea. They also confront their own creators and adapters--Cervantes, Salvador Dalí, Franz Kafka, and Stavans and Weil themselves--and try to make sense out of the madness of drones, taxicabs, and their own literary immortality. The result is an ambitious and compelling graphic novel that reveals \u003ci\u003eDon Quixote\u003c\/i\u003e as \u003ci\u003eun libro infinito\u003c\/i\u003e--a work that reflects the past, present, and future of the human condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable in both English and Spanglish editions, this inspired and audacious interpretation of one of the greatest novels ever written is sure to be savored by generations to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271082318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.30h x 8.50w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2018 pg. 37\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Miguel De Cervantes,Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52507507982517,"sku":"9780271082318","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_897591ae-cb96-4f04-b918-28bfe67a9c37.jpg?v=1778565478","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/don-quixote-of-la-mancha-9780271082318","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
