Don Coyote

Bag om Don Coyote

Don Coyote is a novel written by Whitman Chambers, first published in 1959. The book is a satirical take on the classic novel Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes. The story follows the adventures of a modern-day Don Quixote, named Don Coyote, and his loyal sidekick, Sancho, as they travel across the American southwest in search of adventure and justice.Don Coyote is a retired schoolteacher who is disillusioned with the modern world and longs for a simpler time when chivalry and honor were valued above all else. He decides to embark on a quest to become a knight and defend the innocent, much to the amusement of those around him.Throughout the novel, Don Coyote and Sancho encounter a cast of characters who are either amused or bemused by their antics. They come across cowboys, ranchers, and even a Hollywood movie set, all of which provide ample opportunity for Don Coyote to prove his mettle as a knight.However, as the story progresses, it becomes clear that Don Coyote's quest is ultimately a futile one. His ideals of honor and chivalry are at odds with the modern world, and his actions often have unintended consequences. Despite this, Don Coyote remains steadfast in his beliefs, and the novel ends on a bittersweet note as he and Sancho continue their journey.Overall, Don Coyote is a humorous and thought-provoking novel that explores the clash between traditional values and modern society. It is a must-read for fans of satire and those who appreciate a good adventure story.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
