Cervantes: The First Part of the Delightful History of the Most Ingenious Knight, Don Quixote of the Mancha(Harvard Classics)
By: Miguel de Cervantes, Translated by Thomas SheltonI have read this book both in English and Spanish, and I can honestly say that it loses very little of its power, wit or message in translation. For all those who have considered reading this book, here are a few good reasons: this book is a very nuanced look at escapism and identity, a wonderful parody of knight stories, along with being a rousing (and very funny) adventure centering around the titular hero, a man who reads one too many books about knighthood and chivalry and decides to become a knight-errant himself. After recruiting a sidekick and choosing a lady to woo per narrative convention, he sets out to conquer the forces of evil, which include, among other things, giant windmills and rogue \"knights\". Cervantes\' insight and ability to parody were both ahead of his time, and in a time where escapism and voyeurism are well and thriving, it is not difficult to imagine someone watching too many TV shows and believing they\'re a wild west outlaw or what-have-you. A very fascinating experience, and it works well in any language. Highly recommended.
