"The History and Adventures of the Renowned Don Quixote" by Cervantes Saavedra is a Spanish novel published in two parts in 1605 and 1615. A minor nobleman named Alonso Quijano reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to become a knight-errant. Renaming himself Don Quixote, he recruits a simple farm laborer, Sancho Panza, as his squire. Together they embark on adventures where Don Quixote mistakes windmills for giants and inns for castles, unable to see the world as it truly is. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
