When Sydney is asked to work up an advertising pitch to sell the Catholic Church to the unwashed masses, she's distinctly uncomfortable. After all, she's agnostic herself and, despite assistance from easy-on-the-eye-but-obviously-celibate Father Giuliani, she just can't stop blaspheming. But, work apart, things are lathering up nicely for our heroine when the chance throw of a pen brings gorgeous Jake into the frame. And then it's a downhill path to fist-date sex, polite kidnap and a spot of breaking and entering.
Selling your soul and scrubbing it whiter than white has surely never been so easy...
Don Quixote is the first modern novel, perhaps the most eternal novel ever written and certainly the fountainhead of European and American fiction
—— Carlos FuentesWhat a unique monument is this book! How its creative genius, critical, free, and human, soars above its age!
—— Thomas MannA fluent translation-has energy and clarity-and the rhythm of the telling is compelling
—— GuardianIndisputably the definitive translation
—— ObserverCervantes is the founder of the Modern Era. The novelist need answer to no one but Cervantes. Don Quixote is practically unthinkable as a living being, and yet, in our memory, what character is more alive?
—— Milan KunderaDon Quixote begins as a province, turns into Spain, and ends as a universe. . . . The true spell of Cervantes is that he is a natural magician in pure story-telling
—— V. S. PritchettThis new translation of the Spanish classic is a marvel-It is impossible not to approve of this book in every respect-I find it impossible to imagine that a better novel will be published this year
