Book Overview

The Revelations of Don Quixote is a novel written by Manuel F. Suarez. The book is a modern retelling of the classic Spanish novel, Don Quixote, by Miguel de Cervantes. The story follows the adventures of Alonso Quixano, a middle-aged man who becomes obsessed with the idea of becoming a knight and setting out on a quest to right wrongs and defend the helpless.In this retelling, the story is set in modern-day America, and Don Quixote is portrayed as a homeless man who roams the streets of New York City. The book explores themes of mental illness, homelessness, and the power of imagination.As Don Quixote sets out on his quest, he encounters a variety of characters, both real and imagined, including a prostitute who he believes to be a damsel in distress, a windmill that he mistakes for a giant, and a group of street performers who he believes to be knights.Throughout the book, Don Quixote's delusions and fantasies are juxtaposed with the harsh realities of life on the streets. The book is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition, and a tribute to the enduring power of Cervantes' original masterpiece.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
