Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel de
"Mielevä hidalgo Don Quijote Manchalainen II:1" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a Spanish novel published in two parts in 1605 and 1615. A member of the lowest nobility loses his mind from reading too many chivalric romances and decides to become a knight-errant. Renaming himself Don Quixote, he recruits a simple farm laborer, Sancho Panza, as his squire. Together they embark on adventures where Quixote mistakes windmills for giants and inns for castles, living in a world of illusion while reality stubbornly persists around him.
