From Publishers Weekly

There would seem to be little reason for yet another translation of Don Quixote. Translated into English some 20 times since the novel appeared in two parts in 1605 and 1615, and at least five times in the last half-century, it is currently available in multiple editions (the most recent is the 1999 Norton Critical Edition translated by Burton Raffel). Yet Grossman bravely attempts a fresh rendition of the adventures of the intrepid knight Don Quixote and his humble squire Sancho Panza. As the respected translator of many of Latin America's finest writers (among them Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Carlos Fuentes and Mario Vargas Llosa), she is well suited to the task, and her translation is admirably readable and consistent while managing to retain the vigor, sly humor and colloquial playfulness of the Spanish. Erring on the side of the literal, she isn't afraid to turn out clunky sentences; what she loses in smoothness and elegance she gains in vitality. The text is free of archaisms the contemporary reader will rarely stumble over a word and the footnotes (though rather erratically supplied) are generally helpful. Her version easily bests Raffel's ambitious but eccentric and uneven effort, and though it may not immediately supplant standard translations by J.M. Cohen, Samuel Putnam and Walter Starkie, it should give them a run for their money. Against the odds, Grossman has given us an honest, robust and freshly revelatory Quixote for our times.

3.0étoiles sur 5 A lot to get through, but a lovely point, Fév 13 2004
Par Stacey M Jones (Conway, Ark.) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Don Quixote (Hardcover)
The character of Don Quixote has decided that he will become a knight errant, leaving his life behind and sallying forth to advance the values of chivalry in the world. He takes the working-class (sorry for the anachronism) Sancho Panza with him as his squire. Much to the chagrin of those close to him, Don Quixote believes that he is indeed a knight, and the reality of the world falls victim to his perceptions of it as a place in which knights are assailed by magical forces and spells, in which the Helmet of Mambrino comes along for the taking and in which windmills are the enemy.

Don Quixote serves the lovely Dulcinea del Toboso, and performs his brave exploits in her honor. He has however never seen her (and she seems that she does not indeed exist), and some funny incidents happen when interactions are sought with her. Also, Don Quixote has promised Sancho an island to rule as governor, and Sancho pursues all avenues to achieve this end. In the second book of the novel, Sancho gets a chance to rule, and he shows interesting capabilities and savviness in the discharge of his duties.

The book is episodic, as Don Quixote and Sancho encounter various adventures and challenges. The reader has a humorous view of the two adventurers, able to see the reality in relief to their vision of the world. While Sancho seems not to have suffered a "psychic break" with the world, he is humorously flexible in his views; when it serves him, he accepts Don Quixote's explanations of reality, when it behooves him to see the world as it is, he does so, but modifies his retelling of his events for his master to maintain Don Quixote's illusion.

What comes first and foremost to mind is the line in the movie Quiz Show spoken by Charles Van Doren's father, a literature professor at Columbia University, as his students leave the lecture hall. Some of them cannot suspend their disbelief that a man could make his knightly fantasy last so long and be so believable (to himself), and Prof. Van Doren says he is able to be a knight because "he believes he is one" (or something to that effect). Strangely, it was this inadvertant lecture on Don Quixote that has made it most appealing to me, that explains the motivation and charm and compelling aspect of Don Quixote; he is chivalrous because he believes he is, he continues to honor those values because he believes they can be honored, and he believes that the world embraces his services because chivalry is alive, is needed, and its priests are welcomed.

Don Quixote's state of mind and construction of reality are humorous to be sure, but his beliefs in overarching values are appealing and made me think of what could be real because we make it so, what could be real for the better? As the novel progresses, Cervantes gives more credence to Don Quixote's value system, and less to those who are sane around him. It's an interesting read, and certainly a foundational work.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Worthy of its reputation, Avril 8 2006
A pleasurable book to read,this translation of DON QUIXOTE made the story easy to understand, and for every reason it stands up to its reputaion as the best-loved novel. Confronting the conventions of Spanish society at his time some four hundred years ago, the author wittily and funnily exposes the folies of the time through the adventures , stories and misfortunes of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza.

In a broader sense it is the forerunner off other situations where individuals, communities or systems live a complete lie.This is truely an amazing book, one that you won't want to put down once you have started.DON QUIXOTE is a must read which you should include with other must reads like WAR AND PEACE, UNION MOUJIK, GULLIVER'S TRAVEL,CANTERBURY TALES. One thing for sure is that this new translation of DON QUIXOTE will make it a popular story even with the young.

5.0étoiles sur 5 On the importance of DOUBT ..., Sep 20 2005
This review is from: Don Quixote (Hardcover)
1575 Cervantes embarked for the umpteenth time (the Spanish king fought with his ships against Arabian kings) in the Mediterranean area, but this time he was captured by a Turkish ship and was brought as a prisoner of war to Algiers, where Cervantes spent five years in dungeon custody. In his novel we can find a fragment, where the hero Don Quijote frees a procession of galley prisoners. This chapter for example had been written with the author's knowledge of his own real time of captivity. For five months Spain's enemies put Cervantes in iron chains to break his will. But Cervantes managed a strike of twenty-five thousand prisoners of war. So Spain's enemies felt glad, when the king of Spain paid a large sum of gold, to set him free. Back in Spain Cervantes wrote his story about Don Quijote and his servant Sancho Panza, the master of doubts. And mainly this is a book about the importance of DOUBT. Cervantes knew: it could be dangerous, to fight as a hero without any doubts - that is his everlasting message. He was the forerunner of all people, who are warning, that individuals, communities or systems sometimes live a complete lie - and therefore will meet their catastrophe in their very end. But Cervantes is giving this message with humor - compare, on the other hand, the serious atmosphere of the elder parts of the bible! The ironic Odyssey of Miguel de Cervantes therefore belongs in the row of the most important cultural products in the story of Old Europe...
