The Cervantes Saavedra, Miguel de 1547-1616 creator Motteux, Peter Anthony 1660-1718 text utu 2011 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "The History of Don Quixote de la Mancha" by Miguel de 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 grip on reality and reinvents himself as the knight-errant Don Quixote. With his pragmatic squire Sancho Panza, he sets out to revive chivalry, mistaking windmills for giants and inns for castles. Their adventures blur fantasy and reality in unexpected ways. (This is an automatically generated summary.) From the preface: "[...] the excellent translation of Motteux has been principally adhered to in the present edition."
