Don Quixote by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra, ISBN 0060188707 : Edith Grossman's definitive English translation of the Spanish masterpiece. Widely regarded as the world's first modern novel, and one of the funniest and most tragic books ever written, "Don Quixote chronicles the famous picaresque adventures of the noble knight-errant Don Quixote of La Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, as they travel through sixteenth-century Spain. Unless you read Spanish, you've never read "Don Quixote. "Though there have been many valuable English translations of "Don Quixote, I would commend Edith Grossman's version for the extraordinarily high quality of her prose. The Knight and Sancho are so eloquently rendered by Grossman that the vitality of their characterization is more clearly conveyed than ever before. There is also an astonishing contextualization of Don Quixote and Sancho in Grossman's translation that I believe has not been achieved before. The spiritual atmosphere of a Spain already in steep decline can be felt throughout, thanks to her heightened quality of diction. Grossman might be called the Glenn Gould of translators, because she, too, art...
Rivers of Gold: The Rise of the Spanish Empire, from Columbus to Magellan : RIVERS OF GOLD is the best kind of history: absorbing and authoritative, vast in its erudition and enlightenment, equally serious and riveting. You think you know the story of the "discovery" of the new world, but as the New York Times said about Hugh Thomas's CONQUEST, it is "so dramatic ... that despite its being familiar history you almost don't want to give the story away." It's the story of Fernando and Isabel, one of the most powerful queens in the history of the world; of Columbus and the other sailors who fearlessly and fecklessly made their way to the Caribbean; of the court intrigue in Europe as each empire vied for dominance in the new world; and of the second generation of explorers, most notably, Magellan, who went on to conquer much of the western hemisphere in the name of Christianity and their kings. Thomas sets the stage by establishing the history of religious intolerance in Spain leading up to 1492, recounting the conquest of Grenada and the expulsion from Spain of the Muslims; the Inquisition against the Jews; and Isabel and Fernando's consolidation of power. Religious pe...
