"The History of Don Quixote, Volume 1, Part 01" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a Spanish novel published in 1605. A minor nobleman loses his sanity from reading too many chivalric romances and decides to become a knight-errant. Renaming himself Don Quixote, he sets out to revive chivalry, recruiting a simple farm laborer, Sancho Panza, as his squire. Together they embark on adventures where Don Quixote sees castles in inns and giants in windmills, unable to distinguish fantasy from reality in this founding work of Western literature.
