That’s Kind of Cool. . .
By The Venezuelan government has printed one million free copies of Don Quixote to mark the book’s 400th anniversary.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez urged everyone to read Miguel de Cervantes’ Spanish classic.
He called on everyone to “feed ourselves once again with that spirit of a fighter who went out to undo injustices and fix the world”.
“To some extent, we are followers of Quixote,” he told viewers of his Hello President TV show.
The Venezuelan edition contains a prologue written by Portuguese Nobel literature laureate Jose Saramago.
The free copies will be handed out in public squares this weekend, said Mr Chavez.
