"Don Quijote" is divided in two volumes: "Don Quijote 1", and "Don Quijote 2". This book is included in the collection of classic texts adapted by Grupo de Investigacion UAM-Facil Lectura (easy-reading), of the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid. The adaptation of the texts is adjusted to the capacities of reading comprehension pointed out by the Common European Framework of Reference and the Curriculum Guidelines for teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language from the Cervantes Institute. "El Quijote 1" (first part of this famous and important novel), as it happens with the rest of the manuals from this collection, presents a brief introduction that explains its characteristics and peculiarities. This book offers, in its first pages, the author`s introduction and a presentation of the original work. It is followed by an adapted and illustrated text, and some didactic activities to work on the reading comprehension skills. At the end of the book, it is published a key to the activities proposed and a multilingual glossary (English, French, German, Italian and Portuguese) with some relevant vocabulary. Its aim is to offer help to the learner. "El Quijote 1" includes an Audio CD with the recordings of this adapted text, and its degree of difficulty corresponds to the basic level (with different lexical words), and to the A2 level from the Common European Framework of Reference for languages.
