Don Quixote - Miguel de Cervantes - 1605

Don Quixote is a novel written by Miguel de Cervantes and published in 1605.

It tells the story of Alonso Quixano, an elderly gentleman who has been driven mad by his reading of chivalric romances.

He sets off on a journey with his squire Sancho Panza, a man of low birth who has been promised the governorship of an island by Quixano.

During their journey, they encounter a host of adventures that often bring the two into humorous situations.

Quixano is continually thwarting the schemes of the local windmills, which he believes to be giants, and fighting off the advances of ladies who have taken a liking to him.

The novel is full of satire and uses humour to poke fun at the conventions of the time.

It is considered one of the great works of Spanish literature and is widely read and studied by literature students in the USA.
