Review: Great translation - I'd like just to comment on the translation because there must be a humongous number of reviews on the novel itself. The English here is dated (because it was done in the mid 1700's) but surprisingly readable. It flows naturally and elegantly. It gives you the right feeling that you are reading an old story without bothering you with difficult words or expressions. It doesn't have any artificiality of modern writers' mimicking old style, either. On the other hand, translation into the present day, everyday English would destroy the "atmosphere" of the old story.
Review: Excellent! Met all expectations - I regret that my Spanish is not good enough to listen/read this classic in its original language. Nonetheless, it appears to me that this is a true rendition/translation of what was written. The narrator is a superb reader. The story has t be taken in its context: 1605. This is groundbreaking. The idea of celebrating chivalry by setting it on its head was audacious for its time. The flow of the grand language brings one back to this often underestimated tale. It is certainly more than charging at windmills; and it is more than "dreaming the impossible dream". It is man embracing his particular notion of what he holds sacred; whether it is patriotism, theology, philosophy in short, anything held as Certain Truth, pitted against the lens of the opposing beholder. This is what makes any "true believer" appear as ludicrous. In this perspective, Cervantes has one finger on the absurdity of the antiquating notions of chivalry, while maintaining another on the heroic figure who believes profoundly: that is man, who will survive 400 years holding this same position which will pit him up against the next 400 years. Lui Campos

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Innexpensive book, satisifactory quality - classic story.
*by S***R on February 3, 2018*

Well crafted book, text is of common (readable) size and font. The author does a fine job of providing a thesaurus or annotation to the uncommon vocabulary utilized by the time period and translator. Dense book, even for a classic. Heralded as a comedy, but not as clever as the humor in books as exalted as Great Expectations or The Count of Monte Cristo. Book is approximately 3 inches thick for those concerned, and there is a smattering of illustrations throughout.
