Description

With Sancho Panza, a deposed Communist mayor, his faithful Rocinate, an antiquated motorcar, Monsignor Quixote roams through modern-day Spain in a brilliant picaresque fable. Like Cervantes' classic, Monsignor Quixote offers enduring insights into our life and times.

'A deliciously funny novel and an affectionate offering to all that is noblest and least changing in the people and life of Spain' The Times

Reviews
A deliciously funny novel and affectionate offering to all that is noblest and least-changing in the people and life of Spain * The Times *
A powerful late work...a mixture of entertainment and deep human awareness -- Malcolm Bradbury
Monsignor Quixote is important in showing what may be the last stage of the novelist's long argument with himself about the needs, nature and effect of faith * Times Literary Supplement *
Graham Greene's best, most absorbing, adept and effortless novel * Spectator *
One of the finest writers of any language... Monsignor Quixote is a tour de force and a revealing document of Greene's theological and political intelligence * Washington Post *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
