Dom Quixote

Book • 1605
Don Quixote, written by Miguel de Cervantes, tells the story of Alonso Quixano, a middle-aged gentleman who, influenced by his extensive reading of chivalric romances, decides to become a knight-errant.

He renames himself Don Quixote and, with his squire Sancho Panza, embarks on a series of adventures.

These adventures often involve Don Quixote's misinterpretation of reality, such as mistaking windmills for giants and inns for castles.

The novel explores themes of reality vs.

imagination, the decline of chivalry, and the human condition.

Eventually, Don Quixote returns home, regains his sanity, and renounces his chivalric ambitions before his death.
