Cervantes M. Don Quixote. In 2 volumes.
Moscow State publishing house of fiction. 1953-1954, 428 s, 440 s. Hardcover, 23 x 29.5 cm. Very good condition, scuffed cover, a small defect in the spine, a gift inscription on the flyleaf.
Beautifully decorated Deluxe edition in the covers of the Stalin era, illustrated by Kukryniksy, with tipped-in lithographs. This novel, translated into all European languages, is still one of the most popular books of world literature, and the image of don Quixote, understood as a typical phenomenon of human nature, interpreted as a psychological category and elevated to a philosophical concept-quixoticism. Poems translated by M. Lozinsky. Translation of Vladimir Uzin. The design of the artist N. V. Ilyin.
