A work that frequently appears on lists in the highest echelon of published fiction, "Don Quixote" is a novel that has deeply influenced a host of notable writers and readers for hundreds of years. John Ormsby (18291895) was a nineteenth-century Anglo-Irish translator.He is most famous for his 1885 English translation of Miguel de Cervantes Don Quixote de la Mancha, perhaps the most scholarly and accurate English translation of the novel up to that time. While initially farcical, the novel slowly reveals a more philosophical thread exploring the theme of deception, all the while creating emotional and mental reversals in the two main figures that take them from tilting at windmills to fully comprehending reality. This first of modern novels was written in the experimental episodic form, allowing Don Quixote and his 'squire' Sancho Panza to go on quests that just as often as not land them in trouble or earn them the incredulity of those fully engaged in reality.
