This superb hardcover edition compiles in four different volumes the adventures of the most famous - and crazy - hidalgo from Spanish literature. A vibrant tribute in recognition of Cervantes' literary contribution, paid by the Cervantine Society of Madrid and the Committee of Friends of Cervantes. Both the exterior of the book and its interior have been the object of the greatest attention, which has given rise to magnificent interlacing and illustrations.

Nice condition of the contents.
