Sometimes the first is the best. I completed Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote today. Edith Grossman’s translation from Spanish to English brings the world’s first novel to life. Don Quixote turns the mundane magical, shows us a little madness with good intentions can be the prelude to greatness, and that each of us has the capacity to acquire and spread virtue. It’s literature that’s over 400 years old, yet still is relevant to the core of human existence today. The knight errant Don Quixote of La Mancha and his faithful squire Sancho Panza are truly timeless heroes. #donquixote#booktok#virtue#hope#madness
