Book Description:
Genauso farbenfroh, lebensklug, amüsant und mitreißend wie zu seiner Enstehungszeit wirken die zeitlosen Abenteuer des selbsternannten Ritters Don Quijote und seines so unterschiedlichen Freundes Sancho Panza auf den modernen Leser. Dieser Meilenstein der Weltliteratur zieht immer wieder in den Bann, und ein ums andere Mal stellt sich heraus, dass dieser Irre, der da gegen Windmühlen statt gegen vermeintliche Riesen kämpft, dieser ewig scheiternde Idealist und Träumer, bisweilen der einzig vernünftige Mensch zu sein scheint, und all jene phantasiereichen, schillernden, bunten Erlebnisse reizen zum Lachen, zum Weinen und zum Nachdenken gleichermaßen. - Summary by Boris
