Don Quixote

Following the positive response to Dante‘s Inferno comes a new graphic novel adaptation of the literary classic Don Quixote by legendary Disney animator siblings Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi Don Quixote, first published in 1605, is widely considered to be the greatest Spanish-language novel of all time, and has been published in every major language across 700 editions. A satire of the chivalric romance, it was the first Spanish novel to use everyday language and observations. Upon publication, it became an overnight success, reaching such a frenzy of popularity that by April of the same year, people dressed as its main characters in masquerades held to celebrate the birth of Philip IV of Spain. More than 400 years later, Don Quixote is as popular as ever, having been adapted to nearly every medium, and continuously referenced in pop culture. While there have been many graphic novel adaptations of Cervantes‘s classic (including on the SelfMadeHero list in 2013), Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi bring their historically influenced Disney animator style and prestige to this adaptation, elevating it into an instant graphic novel classic. Perfect for fans of art history, classic literature, and animation, this Brizzi brothers‘ adaptation of Don Quixote leaps off the page and brings the man of La Mancha to life for a new generation of readers.
