Nominada por los estadounidenses como una de las 100 mejores novelas en la serie de PBS The Great American ReadLa RAE, la ASALE y Alfaguara reeditan la edici?n conmemorativa del Quijote con pr?logo in?dito de Dar?o VillanuevaEDICION LIMITADA Hace diez a?os, las academias de la lengua espa?ola pensaron un Quijote para todos. Hoy se reedita en edici?n limitada para conmemorar los cuatrocientos a?os de la muerte de Cervantes.En los a?os 2015 y 2016 confluyen dos aniversarios cervantinos. A la celebraci?n del IV Centenario de la Publicaci?n de la Segunda Parte del Quijote (2015), le seguir?, en 2016, la conmemoraci?n del IV Centenario de la Muerte de Miguel de Cervantes. Como ocurri? hace m?s de una d?cada, las academias de la lengua espa?ola y la editorial Alfaguara se unen a esta celebraci?n con una reedici?n de este cl?sico universal dirigida a todo el ?mbito hispanohablante.Esta edici?n cuenta con un nuevo pr?logo, escrito por Dar?o Villanueva, director de la Real Academia Espa?ola (RAE) y presidente de la Asociaci?n de Academias de la Lengua Espa?ola (ASALE), especialmente para la ocasi?n. Se completa con un glosario formado por siete mil palabras, locuciones, frases proverbiales y refranes, explicados seg?n el significado preciso que tienen en el texto cervantino.La primera edici?n de este Quijote se convirti? en un gran ?xito de ventas, sin precedentes en una obra cl?sica. M?s de tres millones de ejemplares, distribuidos en Espa?a y Am?rica, la convirtieron en la m?s difundida de la historia. A conseguir su car?cter divulgativo y su orientaci?n hacia un p?blico diverso y no especializado, contribuyen especialmente las notas contextualizadoras de la obra, preparadas por Francisco Rico. Tambi?n se incluyen una serie de estudios complementarios, escritos por algunos de los principales expertos en el gran libro cervantino.As?, Mario Vargas Llosa analiza la modernidad del Quijote en ?Una novela para el siglo xxi?; Francisco Ayala reflexiona sobre la construcci?n de los personajes de la novela en ?La invenci?n del Quijote?, y Mart?n de Riquer analiza la obra en el contexto biogr?fico del autor en ?Cervantes y el Quijote?. Por su parte, Jos? Manuel Blecua (?El Quijote en la historia de la lengua espa?ola?), Guillermo Rojo (?Cervantes como modelo ling??stico?), Jos? Antonio Pascual (?Los registros ling??sticos del Quijote: la distancia ir?nica de la realidad?), Margit Frenk (?Oralidad, escritura, lectura?) y Claudio Guill?n (?Cauces de la novela cervantina: perspectivas y di?logos?) abordan distintos aspectos relacionados con la lengua espa?ola en la obra cervantina.A todos ellos se une en esta ocasi?n el actual director de la RAE, Dar?o Villanueva, que ha querido ?aprovechar la oportunidad de oro que me ofrece hoy la nueva salida de esta edici?n [...] para dar una explicaci?n mi explicaci?n de algunos de los porqu?s del tan alto reconocimiento que el Quijote ha obtenido desde la fecha de su publicaci?n hasta hoy, as? como su palmaria modernidad?, antes de recordar que el Quijote fue la obra elegida, en 2002, como la mejor novela de todos los tiempos, por delante de En busca del tiempo perdido, de Proust, y de Guerra y paz, de Tolstoi, en una encuesta realizada por la Asociaci?n de Escritores de Suecia entre cien autores de todo el mundo.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONNominated as one of America?s bestloved novels by PBS?s The Great American ReadTen years ago, the Academies of the Spanish Language conceived of a Don Quixote for everyone.
