About this book

*Don Quijote de la Mancha* es una novela escrita por el español Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra. Publicada su primera parte con el título de *El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha* a comienzos de 1605, es la obra más destacada de la literatura española y una de las principales de la literatura universal. En 1615 apareció su continuación con el título de *Segunda parte del ingenioso caballero don Quijote de la Mancha.* Es la primera obra genuinamente desmitificadora de la tradición caballeresca y cortés por su tratamiento burlesco. Representa la primera novela moderna y la primera novela polifónica; como tal, ejerció un enorme influjo en toda la narrativa europea. La novela ha sido calificada por numerosos autores de renombre como la «mejor novela de todos los tiempos» y la «obra más importante y fundamental de la literatura universal». Don Quijote es también uno de los libros más traducidos del mundo y una de las novelas más vendidas de todos los tiempos. ---------- *The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha* known simply as *Don Quixote* is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes, originally published in two parts, in 1605 and 1615 and considered a founding work of Western literature. It's often said to be the first modern novel. The novel has been labelled by many well-known authors as the "best novel of all time" and the "best and most central work in world literature". Don Quixote is also one of the most-translated books in the world and one of the best-selling novels of all time.
