Don Quixote For a New Millennium: The Adventures of Don Quixote and Sancho at the Ducal Court Diogenes Rodriguez

Many modern readers have missed out on the experience of reading Don Quixote, finding the original text daunting.Diogenes Rodriguez brings the story of Miguel de Cervantes' novel, Don Quixote, to a new generation with Don Quixote for a New Millennium: The Adventures of Don Quixote and Sancho at the Ducal Court.  In it, he uses present English language conversion and dramatic adaptation to appeal to the modern reader.
 
In doing so, Rodriguez brings the fun, irony, wisdom, sensitivity, judgment, inventiveness, sensibility, and witticism of the original story to new readers, as well as renewing interest in the story among readers who have already read the original.  Not only is it a dynamic, engaging adaptation, but it also includes an innovative Glossary of Characters, in which Rodriguez delves into Don Quixote's possible Jewish ancestry and Dulcinea's surprising ethnicity. The work also contains a provocative appendix entitled Transduction an Alternative to Translation? Notes on 'Translation' and Dramatic Adaptation.
