The Adventures of Don Quixote

*The Adventures of Don Quixote* is a novel by Miguel de Cervantes that follows a man, Don Quixote, who envisions himself as a chivalrous knight.

Alongside his loyal but pragmatic squire, Sancho Panza, Quixote’s idealism clashes with reality, highlighting themes of imagination, reality, and the power of dreams. The story explores human folly and nobility, blending comedy and depth, and remains a classic commentary on the nature of reality and illusion.
