"It will not be denied that the breaking point, the point where the modern world broke away laughing from this last medievalism--that the symbolic act and moment was 'Don Quixote'....I want to ask whether, if Don Quixote returned to-day with the same wild ways of knight errantry, it would not rather be the knight errant that was sensible and the world all around him that was crazy. The poor knight's mockers were in the morning of the modern world; for them a more solid science, a more subtle statecraft, were not only growing, but promising things....The rational world has turned out much more irrational than the Dark Ages....The nations have found more nonsense and nightmare in the build of guns than they ever did in the breaking of lances."
G. K. Chesterton, New York Times Book Review, 9/15/12

Don Quixote (ISBN: 9781400139019) De Cervantes, Miguel Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Tantor Media, Inc, United States, 2008. CD-Audio. Book Condition: New. Library ed. 186 x 189 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Don Quixote is a middle-aged gentleman from the region of La Mancha in central Spain. Obsessed with the chivalrous ideals touted in the many books he has read, he decides to take up his lance and sword to defend the helpless and destroy the wicked. After a first failed adventure, he sets out on a second one with a somewhat befuddled laborer named Sancho Panza, whom he has persuaded to accompany him. In many works, the experiences of a man like Don Quixote would probably appear tragic. He's repeatedly beaten, chased away, lied to, and misunderstood. But in the hands of Miguel de Cervantes, these events are comic. Bookseller Inventory # AAC9781400139019 Bookseller & Payment Information | More Books from this Seller | Ask Bookseller a Question |
