DON QUIXOTE
by Miguel de Cervantes
Translated by John Ormsby
Part I, Complete
Ebook Editor's Note
The book cover and spine above and the images which follow were not part of the original Ormsby translation--they are taken from the 1880 edition
of J. W. Clark, illustrated by Gustave Dore. Clark in his edition states that, "The English text of 'Don Quixote' adopted in this edition is that of Jarvis, with occasional corrections from Motteaux." See in the
introduction below John Ormsby's critique of both the Jarvis and Motteaux translations. It has been elected in the present Project
edition to attach the famous engravings of Gustave Dore to the Ormsby translation instead of the Jarvis/Motteaux. The detail of many of the Dore engravings can be fully appreciated only by utilizing the "Enlarge" button to expand them to their original dimensions. Ormsby in his Preface has criticized the fanciful nature of Dore's illustrations;
others feel that these woodcuts and steel engravings well match the
Quixote's dreams. D.W.
