Get this abridged version
Published by Diana , 2 days ago
A few years back, I read an unabridged version of part one. Keep in mind, this book was written between 400 and 500 years ago. This version is so much better. There are explainer notes at the bottom of some of the pages; to give better meaning to sayings, and to explain customs of the time. It brings more understanding to the story. I laughed out loud. This book is funny.
Only Part 1

Only part 1. Annoying I have to try to find the second part now. Should have ordered it off Amazon
Abridged
Published by Natalie , 6 months ago
Maybe it is my fault for not fully investigating before purchasing, but this is an abridged version of Don Quixote. I honestly don't even understand why abridged versions exist and why they're not more clearly labeled. If someone went through and edited a masterwork, it's no longer by Cervantes; it's by the editor. Will have to buy a different copy.
Different book than pictured
Published by Kristie M , 1 year ago
Based on ISBN and picture I was expecting the abridged book by Cervantes but this one is unabridged. The book I received does not appear to have an ISBN number so I’m not sure how they assigned one.
Wrong translation
Published by Jncc14 , 1 year ago
Based on the ISBN and the book cover, I thought I was getting the Tom Lathrop translation with illustrations by Jack Davis. Instead, I received a Borders Classics Abridged Edition with no translator listed. It is also unclear whether this is a complete translation and how abridged it actually is. The book I received has the same ISBN-10 as the one I ordered but a different ISBN-13.
Top Notch Book Condition

Had to read some of the book for my English class and was one of the more entertaining ones. The font was super small and there were a ton of pages though!

Smollett translation
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I have looked at a number of translations of Don Quixote. I don't know why this tranlation is often passed over. It is my favorite by far and I think it stands on its own as a masterpiece. I can't imagine the original language surpassing it.
