This legendary tale by Miguel de Cervantes is Spain's greatest novel. The story gets underway when aging and deluded nobleman Alonso Quijano adopts the identity of wandering knight Don Quixote and sets out to perform chivalrous duties across the Spanish countryside, joined by his wizened horse, Rocinante, and dutiful "squire," Sancho Panza. Don Quixote's antics inevitably lead to considerable trouble, with Cervantes providing witty social commentary, often in the form of Sancho's unrefined observations. With its mix of humor and philosophy and the central theme of fantasy versus reality, the book is an undisputed masterpiece of world literature.

The most revered writer in Spanish literature, Miguel de Cervantes ensured his lasting legacy with the publication of Don Quixote in the early 17th century. A former soldier, Cervantes struggled to find an audience and didn't receive widespread recognition until he was in his 50s. The first part of Don Quixote, with its satirical charm, opened doors for Cervantes in opportunity and imagination, and he eventually revisited his most famous work shortly before his death.
