For years, I wanted to read "Don Quixote," but the length (roughly 1,000 pages) was daunting. Then earlier this year my wife and I saw a local production of "Man of La Mancha," a musical based on the novel, and I decided to take the plunge. I am glad I did. Yes, it took a while to finish, but the story, filled with humor, moved along at a good pace. One caveat: People who know these things better than I do say some translations from the original Spanish are better than others. My translation was by John Rutherford and I can recommend it.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY HAROLD BLOOM. Widely regarded as the world's first modern novel, and one of the funniest and most tragic books ever written, Don Quixote chronicles the famous picaresque adventures of the noble knight-errant Don Quixote de La Mancha and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, as they travel through sixteenth-century Spain.

This is a collection of meditations on the Aramaic words of Jesus. Translated directly from Aramaic, the author brought out new dimensions of meaning based on his deeply inspired mysticism. In particular, Mr. Klotz's interpretation of the "Our Father," opened my heart to new perceptions of cosmology. He seems to do this through poetry, gentle persuasion, and humility which is often missing from academic translations. I will cherish this little gem of a book, and work with it for a long time.
Neil Douglas-Klotz offers a radical new translation of the words of Jesus Christ with Prayers of the Cosmos. Reinterpreting the Lord’s Prayer and the Beatitudes from the vantage of Middle Eastern mysticism, Douglas-Klotz, the Sufi Founder of the worldwide network of the Dances of Universal Peace, reveals a mystical, feminist, cosmic Christ. Prayers of the Cosmos is a spiritual revelation—and in the words of Science of Mind, “When you read this book, you will have no further doubt that God loves you infinitely and unconditionally.”
