Description

"The History of Don Quixote, Volume 1, Part 10" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is part of a novel originally published in 1605. The story follows Alonso Quijano, a Spanish hidalgo who loses his sanity from reading too many chivalric romances and reinvents himself as the knight-errant Don Quixote. Accompanied by his pragmatic squire Sancho Panza, he embarks on adventures where he mistakes windmills for giants and inns for castles, unable to distinguish fantasy from reality in his quest to revive medieval chivalry.
