Commentary | Don Quixote reading chivalry books at his library and seizing his sword with one hand; different books all around the room, on the floor and table.
Remarkable image of don Quixote; notice his facial features and eyes; Scholz has adapted his well-known style (of crude realism in some occasions) for this young readers' edition, creating an image nearer to caricature. |
