(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) Our ceaseless human quest for
something larger than ourselves has never been represented with
more insight and love than in this story of "Don Quixote"-pursuing
his vision of glory in a ?mercantile age-and his shrewd, skeptical
man?servant, Sancho Panza. As they set out to right the world's
wrongs in knightly combat, the narrative moves from philosophical
speculation to broad comedy, taking in pastoral, farce, and fantasy
on the way. The first and still the greatest of all European
novels, "Don Quixote" has been as important for the modern world as
the poems of Homer were for the ancients. Translated by P. A.
