The Contemporary Quixote: A modern English re-telling of The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha By Miguel de Cervantes (English Edition)

Classic--but contemporary! A version of Don Quixote that is both complete and written in plain modern English, The Contemporary Quixote is not a literal translation, but a lively re-telling of the whole story of Don Quixote de La Mancha, the Knight of the Woeful Countenance, with its windmills and wizards, its thumps and bumps, its wit and its slapstick, all intact. If you find straight translations of the story difficult to follow, this is one that you can easily understand. Both Volume 1 and Volume 2 are here, unabridged and complete in plot, characters, situations, and descriptions--only the language has been updated.
