An extraordinary edition of Cervantes’ immortal work, with facsimile reproductions of the watercolors and drawings that Dalí made, fascinated by the personality of Don Quijote, a new perspective of Cervantes’ text with unforgettable images, full of fantasy, magic, wit…
Dalí, from his particular vision, places Don Quixote in the extraordinary world of Dalí, the Cervantes passages are enriched with the painter’s own iconography, with elements explained with precision, architectural forms, figures, ants, pebbles, spiral sketched forms. They are intense anecdotes that revitalize the scenes.
The volume, hand-sewn and with velvety red covers, includes the plates illustrated by the artist from Empordà and the complete text of the work as it was published in the 17th century, together with the annotations of the renowned philologist Martín de Riquer.
Several specialists take us into the complex world created by Cervantes and delve into and interpret Dalí’s strokes and compositions in order to have a global vision. All of this is brought together in a book of studies that, like the treasure it is, is secretly collected inside a case lined with golden cloth.
