Sancho Panza cannot open his mouth without a proverb falling out. The wit and wisdom of Don Quixote gathers the knight's mad nobility and the squire's earthy sayings side by side, prefaced with a biographical sketch of Cervantes, in the handsome 1882 Roberts Brothers edition. Spain's greatest story reduced to its quotable soul. Tilt at it.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
