Reading it in Spanish is a pain in the ass even for a native speaker, book is from the 1600s so you can imagine the language is really different to what it is today. I imagine there must be some version in "current language", but in school we were told to read the original and it was a pain, didn't get past the first quarter then and never tried reading it again
If you read it as a kid without problems, you were most likely either a particularly gifted kid or reading an abridgement
