Who translated the book 'The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha' the best?
there have been several translation of the book of Don Quixote, does anyone know which translation is the best? the most entertaining? the most accurate is keeping beside Cervantes original story?

If you really want to compare, I would recommend going to amazon.com to do a book search for "don quixote" and look at the a range of comments the reviewers and commenters have for the different versions and preview a short snippet of the books themselves.
