<DIV>Complete and unabridged, <i>Don Quixote</i> is the epic tale of the man from La Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza. Their picaresque adventures in the world of seventeenth-century Spain form the basis of one of the great treasures of Western literature.<br> <br> In a new translation that ?comes closest, among the modern translations, to the simple, intimate, direct style that characterizes Cervantes’ narrative,”* <i>Don Quixote</i> is a novel that is both immortal satire of an outdated chivalric code and a biting portrayal of an age in which nobility was a form of madness.<br><div> <br> *John J.
