A two-volume set of Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra's "Don Quixote," translated by Samuel Putnam and published by The Viking Press in New York in 1949. The set is presented in a black paper-covered slipcase. The books feature a handsome black cloth binding with gilt lettering on the spine, indicative of mid-20th century publishing aesthetics. The original dust jackets are included but show significant wear. The interior pages are clean and well-preserved. This edition is notable for Putnam's esteemed translation and is a classic literary work.
