Check out mount_oregano 's explanation of why she is translating the banned medieval fantasy that drove Don Quixote to the windmills . . . . and then read her translation!

oh joy! I've toyed with an Amadis de Gaul project for a long time and now it is being beautifully done! What a delightful contribution to the benefit of mankind... :)

Southey translated it (and condensed it also). Even abridged, his version runs to four volumes. It's scarce, but a good library should be able to get it.

Thank you! Gracias! This is such a fun and important book. I'm glad I can share it.
