The Enamoured Knight


Book Description

"This book is filled with a great love for the art of writing and is a celebration of the act of reading. Through the prism of the renowned Russian Formalist Viktor Shklovsky, Douglas Glover provides a scrupulous reading of Cervantes's Don Quixote. By showing us how Cervantes constructed his novel, and how we as readers participate in his magical creation, he opens the 400-year-old Spanish masterpiece to a new generation of readers. Glover seduces us with his stunning prose, while making it possible for even the casual reader to understand and enjoy Cervantes's genius."--BOOK JACKET.
