Description

"The History of Don Quixote, Volume 1, Part 05" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is part of a novel originally published in 1605. The story follows Alonso Quijano, a man who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and reinvents himself as the knight-errant Don Quixote. Accompanied by his squire Sancho Panza, he embarks on misguided adventures, mistaking windmills for giants and inns for castles, unable to distinguish fantasy from reality in his quest to revive the age of chivalry.
