Ebook Editor's Note
Nota do Editor do Ebook
The book cover and spine above and the images which follow were not part of the original Ormsby translation—they are taken from the 1880 edition of J. W. Clark, illustrated by Gustave Doré.
A capa e a lombada do livro acima, bem como as imagens que se seguem, não faziam parte da tradução original de Ormsby — foram retiradas da edição de 1880 de J. W. Clark, ilustrada por Gustave Doré.
Clark in his edition states that, "The English text of 'Don Quixote' adopted in this edition is that of Jarvis, with occasional corrections from Motteaux."
Clark em sua edição afirma que: "O texto em inglês de 'Dom Quixote' adotado nesta edição é o de Jarvis, com correções ocasionais de Motteaux."
See in the introduction below John Ormsby's critique of both the Jarvis and Motteaux translations.
Veja na introdução abaixo a crítica de John Ormsby às traduções de Jarvis e Motteaux.
It has been elected in the present Project Gutenberg edition to attach the famous engravings of Gustave Doré to the Ormsby translation instead of the Jarvis/Motteaux.
Foi decidido na presente edição do Project Gutenberg anexar as famosas gravuras de Gustave Doré à tradução de Ormsby, em vez da de Jarvis/Motteaux.
The detail of many of the Doré engravings can be fully appreciated only by utilizing the "Full Size" button to expand them to their original dimensions.
O detalhe de muitas das gravuras de Doré só pode ser plenamente apreciado utilizando o botão "Tamanho Completo" para expandi-las às suas dimensões originais.
Ormsby in his Preface has criticized the fanciful nature of Doré's illustrations; others feel these woodcuts and steel engravings well match Quixote's dreams.
Ormsby em seu Prefácio criticou a natureza fantasiosa das ilustrações de Doré; outros consideram que estas xilogravuras e gravuras em aço combinam bem com os sonhos de Quixote.
