Lectures on Don Quixote

A fastidiously shaped series of lectures based on a chapter-by-chapter synopsis of the Spanish classic.

Rejecting the common interpretation of Don Quixote as a warm satire, Nabokov perceives the work as a catalog of cruelty through which the gaunt knight passes.

Edited and with a Preface by Fredson Bowers; photographs.
