The listing, DON QUIXOTE (DE LA MANCHA) by MIGUEL de CERVANTES ~1870 EDINBURGH EDITION~ has ended.
Printed in England, 141 years ago... genuine gold gilded edges (which are the reason for the interior being so well preserved), the book has endured fairly well! The "EDINBURGH" carries NO print date and this was the Only year in which "EDINBURGH" edition was printed. Hardbound. Fully titled: The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha (Spanish: El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha), is a novel written by Miguel de Cervantes. Published in two volumes a decade apart (in 1605 and 1615), Don Quixote is considered the most influential work of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature, and one of the earliest canonical novels, it regularly appears high on lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published. In one such list, Don Quixote was cited as the "best literary work ever written"
