Father Quixote, a humble priest and self-described descendant of Cervantes' immortal knight, is unexpectedly elevated to the rank of Monsignor and sets off on a journey through contemporary Spain in his battered old SEAT car — nicknamed Rocinante — alongside his companion Sancho, the recently deposed communist mayor of El Toboso. Together, this improbable pair argues, drinks Manchegan wine, and confronts the great questions of God and politics with equal parts sincerity and comedy.\n\nGraham Greene, a master of moral ambiguity and spiritual unease, constructs a modern-day Quixote that is at once a loving homage to Cervantes and a deeply personal reckoning with belief and ideology. The novel operates on a dual register — warm and witty on the surface, yet searingly honest in its portrait of a man whose faith is tested not by enemies, but by the very love he holds for his doubting companion. Monsignor Quixote stands as one of Greene's most tender and philosophically charged works, leaving the reader to wonder whether it is faith or friendship that ultimately saves us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130694836443,"sku":"2026100008065-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8e4752f8-26e4-49a4-91ce-53c18913baf7.png?v=1786588692","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008065-secondhand-monsignor-quixote","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
