This novella intertwines the amorous ups and downs of a United Nations peacekeeper named Carl Spagnoli with the story of “Don Quixote” as told by his squire Sancho Panza in a series of fictional letters to his wife written by Carl’s late uncle Salvatore Longo and left to him in his will. Each letter from Sancho corresponds to an episode in the Selected Readings Editions “Don Quixote.” This book can, therefore, also serve as a very good introduction to Cervantes’ masterpiece. There is no inappropriate language. To facilitate teaching, the paragraphs are numbered; there are comprehension questions at the end of every chapter; there is an enrichment section with discussion and writing prompts after every 20 pages or so; there is a section of writing assignment suggestions at the end of the book, and a complimentary teachers’ edition PDF with extensive annotations comes with every purchase.
