On the 400th anniversary of Cervantes' death. The most famous novel in world literature: The Adventures of the Would-be Knight Don Quixote of La Mancha was published in two parts in 1605 and 1615. With this work, Cervantes not only established the new genre of the novel but also created a monument for his hero and his squire Sancho Panza, as well as for himself, for eternity. Susanne Lange's new translation of this monumental work has been celebrated by experts for its unparalleled closeness to the original. It includes an extensive appendix on contemporary history, the life, and works of the author.
