"The History of Don Quixote, Volume 1, Part 12" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is part of a Spanish novel originally published in 1605. The story follows Alonso Quijano, a hidalgo who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and becomes the knight-errant Don Quixote. Recruiting the farm laborer Sancho Panza as his squire, he embarks on delusional adventures, mistaking windmills for giants and inns for castles, determined to revive chivalry in a world that has moved beyond it.
