Book Reviews of Don Quixote (Penguin Classics)

Book Review: A CLASSIC COMEDY
Summary: 5 Stars

Accompanying him on his quest is Sancho Panza, a dimwitted village peasant who agrees to become Quixote's faithful squire in return for the promise of an island when their adventures are through. Together they roam the Spanish countryside in search of chivalrous deeds to perform.

Early in the journey, Quixote meets a young peasant woman named Aldonca. In his imaginary world she becomes Dulcinea del Toboso, his beloved lady fair. From then on he strives to win honor in her name and become worthy of her love.

The story follows the misadventures of Quixote and Panza as they encounter rogues, scholars and noblemen along the way. Among these nobles are the Duke and Duchess who entertain themselves by making sport of and mocking the two men. Throughout it all, Quixote's family and friends seek to bring him home safe and sane.
