by Miguel de Cervantes
Don Quixote is a classic novel by Miguel de Cervantes, published in two parts in 1605 and 1615. It follows the adventures of Alonso Quixano, a middle-aged Spanish gentleman who becomes obsessed with chivalric romances and decides to revive knighthood under the name Don Quixote de la Mancha.Quixote sets out on his trusty steed Rocinante, accompanied by his pragmatic squire Sancho Panza, to seek glory and right wrongs in accordance with the outdated chivalric code.
He tilts at windmills, mistaking them for giants, and encounters various comical misadventures as he lives out his fantasies. Throughout their journey, Quixote's delusions cause numerous conflicts and misunderstandings with those they encounter, who regard them as insane. Quixote imagines peasant girls to be noble ladies, including his idealized love interest Dulcinea del Toboso. In the end, after many trials, Quixote regains his sanity on his deathbed, renouncing his imaginary quests. The novel is renowned for its pioneering metafictional elements and exploration of reality versus fantasy, making it a landmark of Western literature.
