Don Quixote

He read too many tales of knights… then became one. Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes is one of the most influential and beloved novels of all time. First published in the early 17th century, this literary landmark follows Alonso Quixano, a nobleman so enchanted by stories of knights and valor that he reinvents himself as Don Quixote, a self-proclaimed knight errant, accompanied by his faithful squire, Sancho Panza. Their journey is at once hilarious, touching, and deeply philosophical, filled with adventure, satire, and human insight. As Quixote battles windmills and dreams of restoring honor, Cervantes reminds us of the beauty—and danger—of living through imagination.
