"Don Quixote"

Four centuries ago, Cervantes made new demands on reality, expanded the horizons of the European novel, and the Knight of the Sad Image set off on an eternal journey. "Don Quixote makes a noble decision to revive and return to the colorless world the bright vocation of wandering chivalry with its special strict charter and with all its brilliant mirages, passions and exploits" (V. Nabokov). Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza, balancing between reality and illusion, between romantic madness and natural sanity, cast two recognizable shadows that stretch across the plain of centuries and reach us. This recognition effect is enhanced by the brilliant graphics of Gustave Dore, the best illustrator of the immortal novel.
