Description
The 1880 edition of Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, illustrated by Gustave Doré, is a highly regarded version of this classic Spanish novel. Doré, one of the most famous illustrators of the 19th century, brought Cervantes' iconic characters and adventures to life with his detailed and dramatic engravings.
Don Quixote, originally published in two parts (1605 and 1615), tells the story of the idealistic and slightly mad nobleman, Don Quixote, who, inspired by tales of chivalry, sets out on his own adventures. Accompanied by his loyal squire, Sancho Panza, Quixote’s misguided quests often lead to humorous and poignant situations.
