About this listen

The most influential work of the entire Spanish literary canon and a founding work of modern Western literature, Don Quixote is also one of the greatest works ever written. Hugely entertaining but also moving at times, this episodic novel is built on the fantasy life of one Alonso Quixano, who lives with his niece and housekeeper in La Mancha. Quixano, obsessed by tales of knight errantry, renames himself "Don Quixote" and, with his faithful servant Sancho Panza, goes on a series of quests. Many of these adventures, including tilting at windmills, are established in European literary consciousness.

Originally published in two volumes a decade apart (in 1605 and 1615), Don Quixote has been brought to life in its entirety in this audiobook.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Excellent for listening to in chunks, such as a daily commute. Quite superb narration. A humorous and moving tale. I have tried to read this book a number of times but never finished it. Listening to it, I was able to complete the tale and am so glad I did.

Overall, a tale of essential goodness and humanity

The narration was the best I’ve ever heard and added greatly to the characterisation of Don Quixote and Sancho. I loved it.

I thought this might be a chore but the performance was incredible

Narrator amusingly gives the curate the accent (not bad, I'm Irish) of an Irish Catholic priest

Amusing
