The Don Quixote Of America (1921)

The Don Quixote of America is a novel written by Charles Hemstreet and published in 1921. The story follows the adventures of a man named Don Pedro, who is often compared to the famous literary character Don Quixote. Don Pedro is a wealthy and eccentric man who has a passion for adventure and a desire to right the wrongs of the world. He sets out on a journey across America, accompanied by his loyal servant, Sancho, and encounters a variety of characters, both good and bad. Along the way, Don Pedro becomes embroiled in a number of humorous and often absurd situations, all while maintaining his unwavering sense of chivalry and honor. The novel is a satirical commentary on American society and culture, and Hemstreet uses Don Pedro's character to poke fun at the country's obsession with wealth, power, and social status. Despite its comedic tone, The Don Quixote of America also explores deeper themes of morality, justice, and the human condition, making it a thought-provoking and entertaining read.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
