  • Don Quixote

    [Complete & Illustrated]

    by Miguel De Cervantes, John Ormsby ...
    The history of our English translations of "Don Quixote" is instructive. Shelton's, the first in any language, was made, apparently, about 1608, but not published till 1612. This of course was only the First Part. It has been asserted that the Second, published in 1620, is not the work of Shelton, but there is nothing to support the assertion save the fact that it has less spirit, less of what we ...

    Witty Rhymes For Playful Minds

    by John Ormsby ...
    John Ormsby's discerning take on life in his first poetry outing will have readers snorting out loud during their morning commute. Everything's in play as the author takes deadly aim at, among other things, face-sniffing in Greenland, the inevitable dinner invitation from the cannibal next door and that age old question vexing the ballet world: is it time for something in a heel?The titles ...

  • Life of Cervantes and Story of Don Quixote

    by John Ormsby, & Al. ...
    Four generations had laughed over "Don Quixote" before it occurred to anyone to ask, who and what manner of man was this Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra whose name is on the title-page; and it was too late for a satisfactory answer to the question when it was proposed to add a life of the author to the London edition published at Lord Carteret's instance in 1738. All traces of the personality of ... Read more

  • Don Quixote

    by John Ormsby, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra ...
    It was with considerable reluctance that I abandoned in favour of the present undertaking what had long been a favourite project: that of a new edition of Shelton's “Don Quixote, ” which has now become a somewhat scarce book. There are some— and I confess myself to be one— for whom Shelton's racy old version, with all its defects, has a charm that no modern translation, however skilful or correct, ... Read more

  • Don Quixote of La Mancha (Illustrated)

    by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, John Ormsby, Ilan Stavans ...
    Don Quixote of La Mancha has been called the most popular book in history after the Bible and the first modern novel. One might even say that this tragi-comic work is far more than a novel: It is a manual for life, with lessons on how to love, dream, age, and be a friend. It encourages engagement with the essential questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What is my responsibility toward others? What ... Read more
