"Don Quixote" is a classic novel by Miguel de Cervantes that tells the story of a nobleman named Alonso Quixano, who, inspired by tales of chivalry, decides to become a knight-errant under the name Don Quixote. Accompanied by his loyal squire, Sancho Panza, Don Quixote embarks on a series of adventures, often mistaking everyday objects and people for magical or threatening entities. The novel humorously explores themes of idealism, reality, and the human condition, highlighting the contrast between Don Quixote's noble intentions and the often comical consequences of his actions. This 11-volume set of "The History of Don Quixote" by Cervantes, illustrated by Gustave Doré, is part of the original 30-issue collection. The set includes volumes 1 and 3-12, with volume 2 missing. The books are in fair/poor condition, displaying wear consistent with age. Volume 1 cover is loose, and the pages exhibit foxing, chipping, and other signs of wear. The spines are worn and some books have stamps on the front pages and show creasing. Despite these issues, the beautiful Doré illustrations remain a highlight of this classic collection.
