…It’s a charming play. I enjoyed its language, the dialogue and the narrator. I would love to see it on the stage. —Jaime Manrique, acclaimed novelist, author of Cervantes Street

The present English language conversion and dramatic adaptation of Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote hopes to facilitate to the reading and theatrical public an introductory version of the novel which hopefully will include – unhindered – the fun, irony, wisdom, judgment, sensibility, sensitivity, inventiveness and “picardía” (witticism) of Cervantes. This edition includes an innovative Glossary Name of Characters that explores the possible Jewish ancestry of Don Quixote as well as his beloved Dulcinea’s surprising ethnicity; and a provocative appendix entitled: “Transduction an Alternative to Translation? Notes on ‘Translation’ and Dramatic Adaptation,” which includes an analysis of Jorge Luis Borges’ Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote.

There are many teenagers, young adults and even baby boomers that have missed out on the wisdom and fun that Don Quixote can offer, for in their attempt at reading the work they encountered versions distant from their own reality. It is to them I dedicate this book.
