The Prize

Take home this splendid French language book "Les Aventures de Don Quichotte" illustrated with 31 wonderful drawings.

The volume was printed in France in the early 1900s.

Considered one of the most important works in world literature, Don Quixote is a Spanish novel that draws on both the picaresque genre and the epic chivalric novel.

On the front page, as was customary at the time, the name of the owner of the book and the date 25/7/1928 have been added in pen.

The volume is in reasonable condition for its age although it displays signs of wear on the cover and a typical yellowing of the pages, aspects that in no way detract from the value of the object as a collector's item.

Volume size: 14 x 19 cm

The Cause

History Life Onlus was born out of a group of young volunteers’ passion for history and culture.

Our belief is that knowledge is the heritage of us all and that every one of us should know his/her own past in order to become a better version of himself/herself.

At the center of our activities are the protection, promotion and enhancement of culture and art in all of their forms and expressions. To this end, one of our main goals for 2017 is to create a fund for scholarships for deserving but economically disadvantaged students.

We believe that knowledge is a right of everyone: every citizen of the world should have the possibility to access it, independently from his/her economic situation, because only instruction makes men truly free.
