Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, follows the adventures of Alonso Quijano, a hidalgo who reads so many chivalric novels that he decides to set out to revive chivalry, under the name Don Quixote. This is the story that a Nobel Prize Committee survey of one hundred of the world's best writers named "the greatest book of all time."

Quixote has a mental break-down after reading too many novels about chivalrous knights and sets out on his own knightly quest. Quixote sees what he wants to see (like a castle and a noble family instead of an inn and the innkeepers family). He meets each situation through chivalrous-colored glasses and that doesn't always bode well with the people or situations around him. There are so many one-liners from Quixote that made me laugh out loud. I listened to the very end to hear what befell Quixote at the end of his adventures.
The narration was perfect for the story and easy to listen to.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

First a confession: I usually use the Audible app's variable speed feature to listen to Audiobooks slightly sped up (1.25x). I started listening to Gerald J. Davis' translation of DON QUIXOTE slightly sped up and then stopped, reset the speed to its default (1x) and started listening again at the beginning. Why? Between the story itself (as an avid reader, I loved reading a parody about an avid reader), the translation (poetic without making syntax unnatural or complex), and John Hanks' narration (perfect timing and inflection, with wonderful character voices), I didn't want this audiobook to end. The story itself, of course, is a classic and I'd picked it up for Kindle previously but never got around to reading it. I'm glad I heard this translation and especially as an audiobook: There are some audiobooks where the narrator is paired so perfectly to the content that the listening experience is magical... this is one of those rare audiobooks. Highly recommended.
A wonderful, magical listen
