Four Stars Amazon Customer Very good translation of the work.. "still great" according to A Customer. More than a decade later, it's still a book to live with. This is the best version in English, check it out.. Five Stars Shirley R. Nixon Love Don Quijote!
“Fluent, strong, and engagingly readable. More than any of its predecessors, this masterful translation comes close to re-creating the inimitable style of Cervantes' prose.. Part parody and part cautionary tale, Don Quijote is one of the world’s great literary works. The award-winning translator Burton Raffel presents an accurate, consistent, and fluid translation modeled closely on the original Spanish. The narrative skill is such that we are soon willing to believe that Raffel is Cervantes reborn and writing in English.” Guy Davenport Here are the adventures of that bumbling, infinitely compassionate knight, Don Quijote, and his shrewdly simple squire, Sancho Panza
