xi, 441, 473 pp. Translated into English from the original Spanish by Samuel Putnam, with lithoraphs by Jose Narro. Complete in two volumes, including both parts one and two, originally published in 1605 and 1615, respectively. This set includes both parts of Cervantes's classic work of satire, in which Don Quixote's misguided sense of chivalry leads him and his sidekick Sancho Panza on a series of ridiculous adventures. It is the origin of the term 'tilting a windmills,' which refers to one of the early episodes in the first part.
