Description

"The History of Don Quixote, Volume 1, Part 18" 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 pragmatic squire Sancho Panza, he embarks on delusional adventures, mistaking windmills for giants and inns for castles, determined to revive the age of chivalry in a world that has long moved past it.
