Depois de A princesa e o sapo e Moby Dick, Will Eisner usa a linguagem da história em quadrinhos para apresentar aos leitores jovens um dos maiores clássicos da literatura mundial: Dom Quixote de la Mancha, de Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616). Em ritmo movimentado, ele conta as aventuras do sonhador que era visto como um velho maluco e mostra de que maneira os sonhos de Dom Quixote acabaram sendo eternizados.Cervantes publicou a primeira parte de El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha em 1605 e teve uma acolhida entusiástica. A segunda parte surgiu somente em 1615. O conjunto contém uma crítica aos ideais da cavalaria, instituição feudal que já desaparecera havia muito tempo e que entretanto continuava a ser cultuada na Espanha. Para narrar a história do "cavaleiro de triste figura", Will Eisner, o criador do Spirit, usa todo o seu poder de síntese. Tanto no plano das imagens como no plano do texto, cada quadrinho é altamente informativo. E nesse Dom Quixote ele é profundamente sintético nos dois sentidos: primeiro, na escolha dos episódios narrados (acompanhamos aqui, por exemplo, a grande batalha contra o moinho de vento), e, segundo, no modo de desenhá-los. O resultado constitui uma forma divertida e inteligente de apresentar a obra de Cervantes aos leitores jovens.Título Altamente Recomendável pela Fundação Nacional do Livro Infantil e Juvenil - FNLIJ 1999, categoria tradução/criança
O último cavaleiro andante Reviews
-
Let's face it... unless I was assigned to read it for a class, I probably would not ever read Don Quixote. Yet, it's still one of the those classics one should be familiar with to recognize references to it in the larger culture.
This book is a wonderful introduction. I read it in about 20 minutes and now have at least a passing familiarity with the tropes from the book. Plus is drawn in a fun style with some humor thrown in here and there. And, of course, Will Eisner... than man who COINED the term "graphic novel."
Fun reading for adults, teens and children. This one is short and uncomplicated enough to be read out loud to children as well. -
Not a bad way to employ his talents. I don't actually know a lot about Don Quixote - I never read it, never actually seen any movies or shows. I'm familiar with the lore of it and that is all. I think I have a slightly better understanding of the themes of the work after reading this. I will say that the bright colors made me long for Eisner's more traditional black and white (or sepia-toned) work.
-
An excellent children's adaptation of the novel by Cervantes, done by the master of the graphic novel, Will Eisner. There have been many adaptations of this 16th Century novel - not an easy task, as the book is hundreds of pages long. In my opinion, this version is the best I've ever read. Better even than the Classics Illustrated version. While out of necessity, a large portion of the source material was left out. Even the title states that this is just an introduction to Don Quixote.

“The Last Knight: An Introduction to Don Quixote” by
Will Eisner, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra
Ludicrous characters, almost like a Fawlty Towers script. -
Just a quick, fun read to introduce Don Quixote and his bravery to the masses!
-
When a graphic novelist can't figure out if it's Alonzo or Alanzo, Sancho or Pancho...
-
An interesting read but only an ok representation of Don Quixote in my opinion.
-
A great intro to Quixote. Whimsical, silly, and sincere.
-
This book belongs in the genre of junior graphic novels.
This graphic novel is a contemporary "introduction" to the classic "Don Quixote".
The area for critique is plot. While the illustrations in this graphic novel are wonderfully expressive, the plot falls flat. This book is marketed as "an introduction" to the classic novel, but because of the underdevelopment of the plot and characters,due to the condensing of a very extensive classic, leaves the readers wanting. Students reading this book will not be inclined to pick up the classic.
This book can be integrated into the curriculum in the following areas:
English/Reading: graphic novels

It's a nice little introduction to
Don Quixote, and Eisner's drawings of faces are very expressive.
Probably the coolest part was reading the book from an archival collection of Eisner material at Ohio State University. -
I suppose you can see this as an introduction to Cervantes book, if you want to be generous. I already loved Cervantes before I read this graphic novel, so it really had little chance of impressing me. It seems an ill-conceived project. Eisner's talent comes through, but does the world need this book? It may be more impressive to those who have not read Don Quixote.
-
Though it is incredibly short, I will give Eisner credit where it's due. This is an introduction to Don Quixote, and I got an introduction. A short, simple story with a little commentary on Don Quixote, his books, and his deeds. Decently written, well-drawn (as always), and enjoyable, to say the least.
-
this is the story of Don Quixote retold by Sancho Panza. How Don Quixote becomes a knight and all his adventures. This is a good book to introduce reluctant readers to the original work by Cervantes.
-
It is an okay short version of Don Quixote, but changing the end (compared to the novel) ruins Eisner's interpretation. It is a good book for children and good to get a overview of the novel.
-
I did not like Eisner's interpretation of The Adventure of Don Quixote. He turned him into a person who could not accept reality for the sake of not being able to accept reality.
