Los mejores libros jamás escritos

Edición de Florencio Sevilla Arroyo, catedrático de Filología Española en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid

«Contra cuerdos y contra locos está obligado cualquier caballero andante a volver por la honra de las mujeres.»

Un éxito desde el momento de su publicación en dos partes (1605 y 1615), Don Quijote de la Mancha es probablemente la mayor novela jamás escrita. Cuenta la historia de un hidalgo que, enloquecido por la lectura excesiva, recorre España en busca de aventura, justicia y gloria. Las múltiples interpretaciones de la obra reflejan su riqueza de significados y contenidos: una crítica de las novelas de caballerías, la contraposición entre realismo e idealismo, o una sátira de las ilusiones cortesanas. Con las divertidas andanzas de su ingenioso protagonista, Cervantes retrató la complejidad de lo humano y dio al arte literario su más alta expresión.

Esta edición incluye una introducción que contextualiza la obra, un aparato de notas, una cronología y una bibliografía esencial, así como también varias propuestas de discusión y debate en torno a la lectura. Está al cuidado de Florencio Sevilla Arroyo, catedrático de literatura española de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Don Quixote de la Mancha
The best books ever written.

An edition by Florencio Sevilla Arroyo, Spanish language and literature professor at the Universidad Autónoma in Madrid.

"Against sane men and crazy ones, any knight-errant is obliged to return for the honor of women."
A success from the moment of its publication in two parts (1605 and 1615), Don Quixote de la Mancha is probably the best novel ever written. It tells the story of a nobleman who, crazy from reading too much, travels around Spain in search of adventure, justice, and glory. The multiple interpretations of the work reflect its wealth of meaning and contents: a critique of books about chivalry, the juxtaposition of realism and idealism, and a satire of courtly dreams. With the entertaining adventures of its clever protagonist, Cervantes portrayed the complexity of being human and gave literary art its highest form of expression.

This edition includes an introduction that contextualizes the work, a notes section, a timeline, and an essential bibliography, as well as several discussion and debate prompts about the reading. The work was led by Florencio Sevilla Arroyo, professor of Spanish language and literature at the Universidad Autónoma in Madrid.
