Description

"The History of Don Quixote, Volume 1, Part 17" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is part of a novel originally published in 1605. The story follows Alonso Quijano, a minor nobleman who loses his sanity after reading too many chivalric romances. Renaming himself Don Quixote, he sets out as a knight-errant with his squire Sancho Panza to revive chivalry. Their misadventures blur reality and illusion, as Don Quixote mistakes windmills for giants and inns for castles, creating a timeless exploration of madness and idealism.
