Helena Díez-Fuentes is the founding partner of Half minds an editorial and digital content creation company. To solve the demand to be able to access universal classic literature illustrated and interactive and adapted for children and young people has created the digital collection Touch of Classic and has released the work The Adventures of Don Quijote. Touch of Classic intends to become a reference site for classic works and they are already preparing the launch of the Summer night Dream of William Shakespeare and the Frankenstein from Mary Shelly.
From Media Minds we have been invited to try the work of The adventures of Don Quijote, which they call in English The Adventures of Don Quixote I imagine that to provide it with ease to be sold outside of Spain. We have reviewed the application and it is most entertaining. You can access El Quijote very quickly with texts that are read by the machine although you can choose to record our own voice. In addition the screen is interactive in each image and you have to look for treasures in each of them. My daughter has loved it and while she reads and learns she plays by fixing the images of the Cavalry stories. And is that the Quijote is a work recognized worldwide and this application includes very careful and handmade illustrations with a very well told story using verses and the sophisticated interactivity that we have commented.
The work, which costs with the launch price 0.79 euros, is translated into English and Spanish but will soon include more languages such as Japanese and Chinese. They are also working on an Android version Expand the current available for Apple devices.
After May 2012 it is planned that the application costs 1.59 euros That still remains a reasonable price. It seems that readers have recognized the work because it has remained number 1 in the category of paid books in Spain.
The Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports of Spain as well as the Miguel de Cervantes Virtual Library Foundation, the international reference portal for Hispanic letters for more than 10 years, have endorsed this unique project very committed to universal literature.
Here we leave an illustrative video of the work that the Media Minds company has done:
Helena has informed us that Apple has highlighted "The Adventures of Don Quixote" as iPad app of the week in Spain and in 15 other countries. So we wish Media Minds many successes and many publications.
