Don Quixote de la Mancha is more than a story of a man chasing impossible dreams. It is the story of us all - of the heart that believes when reason falls silent. Across the plains of Spain, an aging gentleman takes up a lance and a name of honour, determined to defend the helpless and restore a vanished world of chivalry. By his side rides Sancho Panza, loyal and practical, who follows not out of madness but faith.

What begins in laughter becomes a study of courage, friendship, and the strange beauty of believing. Cervantes' Don Quixote remains the world's first modern novel - a journey through imagination, truth, and the limits of sanity. It speaks to dreamers, thinkers, and every reader who has ever longed to make sense of an unkind world.

This new paperback edition, edited, illustrated and modernised by William Power, B.Ed., refines John Ormsby's 1885 translation into clear, vivid English without losing the grace or humour of the original. The language reads naturally, the pacing flows, and the meaning shines through with fresh strength and emotion. It is a book to savour slowly, to share, and to remember.
