The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes

An aging nobleman, inspired by chivalric romances, sets out to revive knighthood under the name Don Quixote, believing windmills to be giants and inns to be castles. Accompanied by his faithful but practical squire Sancho Panza, he embarks on a series of misguided but heartfelt adventures. The plot blends comedy, tragedy, and philosophical inquiry as fantasy collides with reality. Cervantes creates a deeply layered narrative about madness, idealism, and identity. It’s one of literature’s greatest and most enduring tales.
