| Summary | "Don Quichot van La Mancha" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a novel written in the early 17th century. The story follows the adventures of Don Quichot, a delusional nobleman who, influenced by his obsession with chivalric romances, decides to become a knight-errant. He sets out on a quest to revive chivalry and embark on heroic adventures, convinced that he is destined for greatness. The opening of the novel introduces us to Don Quichot, a middle-aged gentleman from La Mancha who has become infatuated with tales of knights and valor. Driven mad by his extensive reading, he resolves to become a knight himself and sets out on a quest for glory with his old horse, Rocinante. His first challenge comes when he attempts to don a battered suit of armor and names himself after his noble ideals. Despite the lack of practicality and the absurdity of his armor and horse, he is determined to pursue his dreams of knighthood. The chapter sets the stage for the comedic and tragic misadventures that await him as he navigates his distorted perception of reality while inadvertently causing chaos in the world around him.
