Description
The second volume of Don Quixote is much darker than the first, picking up the story where Volume I left off and taking us to Don Quixote's death.
Don Quixote battles cats, puppets and the famous Knight of the Mirrors. He plunges head first into the legendary Cave of Montesinos and seeks to disenchant his imaginary truelove Dulcinea del Toboso, who is imprisoned there. Meanwhile Sancho Panza is finally given an island to rule over by the Duke and Duchess who, like many characters Quixote and Sancho meet in Vol II, have read Vol I.
The Duke and Duchess play endless cruel tricks on our heroes and slowly our heroes' madness and foolishness becomes painfully apparent. On his deathbed Quixote becomes Alonso once more, he finally denies the existence of Giants, Knights, Damsels and to Sancho's horror he denies there ever was a Don Quixote de la Mancha. Sancho begs that they should ride out one more time, but it is too late Alonso Quixana is dead.
An accessible adaptation of one of the more daunting, important, yet little read books in the global literary canon; Director Gore Verbinski is in the middle of shooting a big budget Disney movie starring Johnny Depp as Tonto, stating: "The only version of The Lone Ranger I'm interested in doing is Don Quixote told from Sancho Panza's point of view". The film is slated for release late 2012/2013.; National newspaper and specialist magazine coverage; Literary and comics festival appearances (TBC) Signed stock and poster promotion; Creator production blog, key comics and literary blog interviews; Popular creator actively engaged in promotion online and in person at the major UK comics shows.
