| Summary | "L'ingénieux chevalier Don Quichotte de la Manche" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a novel written in the early 17th century. The story follows the delusional nobleman Don Quichotte, who, fueled by his obsession with chivalric romances, decides to become a knight-errant and sets out on whimsical adventures against imaginary foes, accompanied by his pragmatic squire, Sancho Panza. The novel explores themes of reality versus illusion, the nature of heroism, and the impact of literature on the human mind. The opening of "Don Quichotte" sets the scene by introducing the protagonist, a middle-aged hidalgo from a village in La Mancha, whose intense reading of chivalric tales leads him to lose his sanity. Convinced he must revive chivalry, he dons a rusty set of armor, takes his old horse, Rossinante, and renames himself Don Quichotte. He embarks on his first adventure under the belief that he is destined for grandeur, seeking to protect the helpless and restore justice. Cervantes masterfully establishes Don Quichotte's eccentric character and sets a whimsical tone that draws readers into the absurdity and charm of his quests.
