Don Quixote
Miguel de Cervantes

[Recommended Copies Other Cervantes Works]

Don Quijote

"Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading chivalry romances that he determines to turn knight-errant himself, and roam the world in the company of his faithful squire, Sancho Panza. Sane madman and wise fool -- together they have haunted readers' imaginations for 400 years now."

Miguel de Cervantes was born in 1547 in Spain, and he never obtained a university education. He started writing Don Quixote in 1597 while imprisoned for debt. And in December, 1604, Juan de la Cuesta prints in Madrid the first edition of the book recognized as the first modern novel.

With its experimental form and literary playfulness, Don Quixote has been enormously influential on many other writers, from Fielding and Sterne to Flaubert, Dickens, Melville, and Faulkner, who reread it once a year, "just as some people read the Bible."

Chromolithograph Trading Cards
Recommended by Cole & Contreras, Barcelona

In 1935, Chocolates Amatller, a Catalan company based in San Sadurni d'Anoia, issued 80 different trading cards depicting scenes from Don Quixote by Jose Segrelles. One of these brightly-colored chromolithograph cards was included in each box of chocolates sold by the company. The item I offer is an album containing THE COMPLETE COLLECTION of these 80 cards, mounted sequentially, four to a page, on fine paper. Opposite each set of cards are reproduced the texts on the backs, which obviously cannot be read directly from the cards, since they are mounted. 4to. FINE AND BRIGHT, WITH NO DEFECTS. This album was composed recently, but THE CARDS ARE FROM THE ORIGINAL 1935 ISSUE. An extremely attractive and rare album. $275.00
