Don Quixote, written by Miguel de Cervantes, follows the story of a man who becomes obsessed with chivalrous ideals and goes on adventures based on his imagination. The main character, Alonso Quixano, renames himself Don Quixote and recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire. Together, they embark on a series of misadventures, with Quixote constantly mistaking windmills for giants and inns for castles. Throughout the novel, the theme of reality versus fantasy is explored as Don Quixote’s delusions often lead to humorous outcomes. The novel is considered a classic of Western literature for its exploration of themes such as madness, idealism, and the power of storytelling.
