内容説明
Cervantes' tale of the deranged gentleman who turns knight-errant, tilts at windmills and battles with sheep in the service of the lady of his dreams, Dulcinea del Toboso, has fascinated generations of readers, and inspired other creative artists such as Flaubert, Picasso and Richard Strauss. The tall, thin knight and his short, fat squire, Sancho Panza, have found their way into films, cartoons and even computer games. Supposedly intended as a parody of the most popular escapist fiction of the day, the 'books of chivalry', this precursor of the modern novel broadened and deepened into a sophisticated, comic account of the contradictions of human nature. Cervantes' greatest work can be enjoyed on many levels, all suffused with a subtle irony that reaches out to encompass the reader.
From Publishers Weekly
This imposing volume presents the first part of the quest by the beloved Don, whose name stands for chivalry and courage--"The Impossible Dream." The book's heavy stock, binding and design all impart an air of style and prestige, reinforced by Bogin's suave translation, which makes good use of abundant dialogue. (The phraseology and vocabulary, however--"erstwhile," "apothecary," "coherence"--will be beyond younger readers.) Though the paintings by Spanish artist Boix are masterfully executed, some lack the sweep expected from this panoramic work; much of the imagery is somewhat pallid, both in tone and emotional impact. And, though the architectural details, period apparel and scenery are all richly evocative, the characters themselves are often small in scale and dwarfed by their stunning surroundings. Nevertheless, the presence of an elegantly produced, picture book version of this classic merits attention and applause. All ages.

本書は聖書に次ぐ世界的ロングセラー。荒唐無稽だが夢いっぱいの物語約百話満載。英訳版大著２５０円は激安！スペイン語原典の百年後１８世紀初頭刊行。シェークスピアの英語に近く現代英語に比して文章やや難解、語彙豊富。文脈も文法的にも読解力の鍛錬に最適。自分の語学力判定に好適。自信家も反省するかも。狂人？ドン・キホーテは正統的発言に終始し理想的な騎士道、人間道を説く。１７世紀スペインの国情、キリスト教騎士道精神が物語に光彩を放つ。従者サンチョ・パンサ大活躍。主人ドン・キホーテとの堂々たる対話、主人を助ける時の爽やかな弁舌で面目躍如。

The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the name of ‘Don Quixote’ is a funny mistake Cervantes committed in the story. In a certain chapter Sancho Panza’s pony goes missing, and Cervantes turns the reader’s attention to how they will find the pony. But to the reader’ s surprise, in the next chapter the pony is there, as if the incident of the pony’s missing had not happened. I don’t know why he committed such a funny mistake, but perhaps the writer himself may have forgotten the story. As is predicted from this episode, this book has some parts that are so tedious and even absurd. The writer often indulges in long and tedious digressions.
But in spite of that, this writer will remain a very important writer in history forever, because he created such original characters as Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. They pervade the book and give it its unique force. They are both masterpieces of characterization. By the way, this book is also extraordinary in that the sequel is better than the forerunner, while the opposite is normal. I don’t know how this happened, but perhaps he may have been influenced by the contemporary criticisms offered for the digressions of the forerunner.

An excellent edition of this classic.
2003/1/22
形式:ハードカバー|Amazonが確認した購入
Note: Amazon.com seems to have a hard time linking reviews to specific editions - it makes a difference. This review is of the Modern Library edition, ISBN-0679602860, translated by Samuel Putnam. I am reposting it, hoping it will link correctly this time).
-----------------------------------------------------------
When you approach reading (or rereading) a "classic" work you really, mostly, don't have to think about whether to read it -- that decision was either made by someone assigning it to you or, more wonderfully, by you, yourself deciding to swim contra-current against the cultural waters... following Neil Young's advice to "turn off that MTV."
So. You are going to read it. And, if you are paddling the Amazon.com, here, you are going to buy and OWN it. The question really becomes which edition you should own.
This is the one.
Its a fine translation - surprising in its avoidance of archaic language. It has a nice structure - the inevitable notes are available but not obtrusive.
This edition, the Modern Library hardback edition, translated by Putnam, is also a nice book to own. It isn't one of those pretty faux-leather "shelf-candy" copies that'll break your wallet first. This is a hardworking book - the essence of the Modern Library idea. But it is a wonderful packaging of the whole 1000+ pages that is both readable and shelvable. No thousand-page paperback will survive an actual reading as anything you would want excepting as backup next to the latrine.
Did I mention that it is a great book, great story? Well, others over the years have managed that :-). But I will loudly agree. I'm rereading it only now after a 35 year hiatus (yes, indeed, classics can be lost on the young - thats why you want books that last. In 35 more years, when you turn your lance back toward targets you thought you left behind, a copy will cost you [a lot of money]). It is just plain startling in its innovations and story. I always thought Bruce Willis and Cybil Shepard were the first to break down that "third wall" and talk to the audience - yet here is Cervantes doing so five centuries back ! Wow.
Even if you've been made to buy it and to read it, buy a nice copy. Read the "Cliff notes" if you must, but someday you'll be a crazy old coot like Don Q. (or me) and want to toss something more meaningful than Palahniuk (or even Rushdie) at the cobwebs that cling.

The Don
2000/3/11
形式:ペーパーバック
I was assigned to read this book this year in my senior Humanities class. We were not expected to read every chapter, but once I started, I couldn't dream of skipping anything. Don Quixote, Book 1, tells the story of a man more optimistic and idealistic than any other in literature. He sets out as a "righter of wrongs and injustices" and doesn't let anything stand in his way. Book one is also incredibly funny in many parts, both physically and intellectually. Book 2, although a somewhat difficult read and much less humorous, is by far the better work of art. At first, I was apalled at the ending of the book, but I now feel that Cervantes was justified in his ending because he wanted us to mourn the absence of chivalry and hope in our world. I cannot express how much perspective this book will add to your life. Tip: If you are reading Don Quixote in English, I reccommend the Putnam translation.

Putnam's translation has never been beat
2005/8/20
形式:ハードカバー
If you want to make going through "Don Quixote" as painless as possible, get the Samuel Putnam translation from the 1950's (ISBN: 0679602860), published these days by the Modern Library.
The Modern Library edition also has copious footnotes at the back of the book (Putnam's original ones), which is quite nice.
For my money, nobody has ever come close to matching the natural grace and power Putnam summoned when he pulled this one off.
If you can't find the Putnam, the Charles Jarvis translation (used in the Oxford World's Classics edition, ISBN: 0192834835) is, despite having originally been published in the 1600's (!), a serviceable second choice. Also well-glossed.
