Don Quixote Among the Saracens A Clash of Civilizations and Literary Genres

'Cervantes is a master at throwing curves; de Armas is a master at catching new ironies in a literary classic. The combination is extraordinarily rich and winning. Highly recommended.'

'De Armas meticulously probes into the visionary and labyrinthine mind of Don Quixote... De Armas has written an original book, a topical book, a moral book.'

'De Armas turns in his usual solid performance as he presents original ideas about the Cervantes masterpiece and the author's and novel's background.'

'De Armas' greatest strength lies in his philological eclecticism, which shines a powerful microscope on Cervantes' text, producing unforgettable close readings of many passages that have never been adequately explained.'
