The Quixote

*Don Quixote*, written by Miguel de Cervantes, is a novel about an aging man who becomes so captivated by chivalric books that he imagines himself as a knight. He sets out on adventures to revive chivalry, often mistaking everyday objects and people for fantastical elements. The story explores themes of idealism versus reality, illusion versus truth, and the power of imagination. Through humor and sincerity, Cervantes presents a reflection on the nature of heroism, the human condition, and the conflicts between personal dreams and societal norms. It’s considered one of the greatest works of Western literature.
