Don Quixote of La Mancha: (in Spanglish)

Overview

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 más influencial del canon literario hispánico. En esta adaptación 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 páginas, Stavans y Weil payean tributo a la novela de Cervantes así como a sus resonancias complexas en los centuries desde su publicación. 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. También confrontean a sus propios creadores y adaptadores—Cervantes, Salvador Dalí, 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 gráfica ambiciosa y compelleante que revela a Don Quixote as “un libro infinito”—una obra que reflectea el pasado, presente y futuro de la condición humana. Availeable en Inglés y Spanglish, esta adaptación inspirada y audaz de una de las great novelas ever escritas seguramente será savoreada por generaciones to come.
