It chronicles the unlikely road journey of Father Quixote — a humble village priest who claims descent from Cervantes' legendary knight — and his travelling companion Sancho, a communist ex-mayor, as they traverse the Spanish countryside in a battered old car. Greene presents a richly layered dialogue between faith and doubt, ideology and human warmth, drawing clear parallels to the original Don Quixote while anchoring the story firmly in the modern world. The novel argues, with Greene's characteristic gentle irony, that friendship and genuine human connection can transcend the deepest ideological divides. Humorous, tender, and quietly profound, it stands as one of Greene's most beloved and enduring works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888033280219,"sku":"2026200007107-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7b3440cf-eec9-4f19-8c61-2398f02b1b8c.png?v=1781753517","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200007107-secondhand-monsignor-quixote","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
