Summary: "Mielevä hidalgo Don Quijote Manchalainen I" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a seminal novel written in the early 17th century. This literary work follows the adventures of Don Quijote, a nobleman who, driven mad by reading chivalric romances, decides to become a wandering knight and seeks out adventures in a quest for honor, justice, and love. The narrative intricately weaves themes of reality versus illusion, showcasing the absurdity and valor of human endeavor through the eyes of its eccentric protagonist. The opening of the novel introduces us to a hidalgo from La Mancha who has become obsessed with knightly tales, leading to a breakdown of his sanity. Cervantes describes the hidalgo’s modest lifestyle and details his single-minded passion for reading, which eclipses his daily responsibilities, culminating in his decision to become a knight-errant. He sets about preparing for his new identity, engaging in a comical reimagining of his possessions into heroic armaments and creating elaborate plans for his upcoming adventures. In doing so, he also adopts a new name, Don Quijote, and selects his decrepit horse, Rocinante, as his noble steed, setting the stage for the whimsical and poignant journey that follows.
