![]() ![]() I found that to be an advantage in such a long book because I could put the book down for a few weeks, read another book, and come back without missing a beat. I believe that it is a great disservice to Cervantes that Don Quixote is being thought of as a drama only to disregard the story’s comedic aspects.Īmong the 1,000 pages of the book, Cervantes weaves unrelated background stories of characters which the duo meets on their adventures. The foot notes also help the non-Spanish speaker understand more of background to the stories, the prose and inside jokes.Įven though this book was written centuries ago I found it contemporary, charming, hilarious and accessible. Even Cervantes’ self-deprecating and self-glamorizing humor is intact. Grossman tried to capture not only the story, but also the prose, rhythm and style of writing of the era even it was long winded and somewhat tedious. ![]()

"He may be a positive or a negative nationalist - that is, he may use his mental energy either in boosting or in denigrating - but at any rate his thoughts always turn on victories, defeats, triumphs and humiliations.
