IV Centenary of Don Quixote

IV centenary of Don Quixote

Four hundred years ago today, the first edition of Cervantes' Don Quixote rolled off a Madrid printing press (well, maybe rolled is too technically descriptive of the printing process in 1604). Spain and several other European nations will commemorate the fourth centenary of the world's first best-seller with events throughout 2005.
