Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Quixote Produced by David Widger "The History of Don Quixote, Volume 2, Part 35" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a classic novel written in the early 17th century, during what is often regarded as the Spanish Golden Age. This volume continues the story of the titular character, Don Quixote, a delusional nobleman who believes he is a knight-errant. The book explores themes of chivalry, reality versus illusion, and the nature of sanity, while delving into the antics and misadventures of Don Quixote and his loyal squire, Sancho Panza. In this part of the narrative, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza encounter a group of laborers carrying religious images for a village retablo. The knight admires the saints depicted and reflects on their heroic actions while imagining himself in their company. The story showcases his unwavering belief in chivalric ideals as he prepares to defend the honor of beautiful shepherdesses he meets. However, their encounter takes a comedic turn when Don Quixote mistakenly positions himself in the path of a herd of bulls, resulting in a humorous and chaotic scene. Ultimately, the characters' journey continues with a mix of whimsy and philosophical ponderings, characteristic of Cervantes' enduring work, blending humor with deeper reflections on human nature and society.
