"L'ingénieux hidalgo Don Quichotte de la Manche - Tome I" by Cervantes Saavedra is a novel written in the early 17th century. The book follows the adventures of a deluded gentleman, Don Quichotte, who, in his obsession with chivalric literature, decides to become a knight-errant and embark on a quest to revive chivalry and right the wrongs of the world. His faithful squire, Sancho Panza, accompanies him on his misadventures, which are marked by a blend of comic mishap and profound commentary on the nature of reality and idealism. The opening of the novel introduces the character of Don Quichotte, a Spanish hidalgo who becomes so engrossed in tales of knighthood that he loses his sanity and resolves to become a knight himself. He rummages through his belongings to don his ancestors' rusted armor and mounts an old horse, Rossinante, while giving himself the name Don Quichotte de la Manche. The prologue sets the tone for the story, hinting at the blend of humor and social critique that lies ahead. As Don Quichotte prepares for his quest, the narrative takes shape, hinting at the various misadventures that await him as he steps into the wide world, fueled by his chivalric fantasies.
