Somewhat difficult to read. Produced by David Widger "The History of Don Quixote, Volume 1, Part 02" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a classic novel written during the early 17th century, specifically in the Spanish Golden Age. This timeless work follows the misadventures of an eccentric gentleman who, inspired by tales of chivalry, decides to become a knight-errant himself. The book explores themes such as the conflict between reality and illusion, the nature of honor, and the often absurd quest for glory. In this volume, Don Quixote sets out from an inn, exhilarated after receiving his knighthood. However, his journey quickly leads to a series of comical and disastrous encounters. He attempts to rescue a young servant named Andres from his brutal master, but his intervention ends in farce, leaving the boy to suffer even more. As Quixote continues on his quest, he confronts a group of traders, mistaking them for fellow knights, and insists they confess the beauty of his imagined lady love. This results in a humiliating defeat for Quixote when his horse stumbles, throwing him to the ground. Ultimately, despite the physical and mental challenges he faces, Quixote remains steadfast in his belief in chivalry, continually drawing from the romantic ideals found in the books he cherishes.
