Miguel de Cervantes' 'Don Quixote (illustrated & annotated)' is a masterpiece of Spanish literature, often considered the first modern novel. The book follows the adventures of an eccentric nobleman who sets out to revive chivalry and embarks on a series of misadventures with his loyal squire, Sancho Panza. Through its satirical lens, Cervantes explores themes of reality versus illusion, sanity versus madness, and the power of storytelling. The book's innovative narrative structure, combining realism and metafiction, has influenced generations of writers and continues to be studied and celebrated today. The illustrated and annotated edition provides additional visual context and in-depth analysis to enhance the reading experience. Readers will appreciate the rich details and hidden symbols that Cervantes weaved into his narrative, making this edition a valuable companion for both newcomers and seasoned readers of 'Don Quixote'.

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547–1616) was a Spanish writer widely regarded as the greatest writer in the Spanish language, and one of the preeminent novelists in world literature. His masterpiece, 'Don Quixote' (fully titled 'The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha'), is considered the first modern novel. This seminal work, which is both a satire of chivalric romances and a commentary on the human condition, has been celebrated for its narrative style, character development, and rich humor. Cervantes's 'Don Quixote' has been translated into numerous languages and has been illustrated and annotated in various editions, reflecting its enduring global appeal and scholarly interest. Born near Madrid, Cervantes lived an adventurous life that included military service, where he sustained injuries at the Battle of Lepanto, and time spent as a captive in Algiers. His experiences shaped his worldview and literary voice, which he expressed in several works besides 'Don Quixote', such as 'Novelas ejemplares' (Exemplary Novels) and his pastoral novel 'La Galatea'. As a pivotal figure in literature, Cervantes's influence extended beyond his era, securing his legacy as the 'Prince of Wits' and ensuring that his work remains a cornerstone of classical Western literature.
