Don Quixote – Volume I – Miguel de Cervantes by Miguel de Cervantes

"To dream the impossible dream."

Consumed by tales of chivalry, an aging country gentleman loses his wits and reinvents himself as Don Quixote de La Mancha, a knight-errant destined to revive the golden age. Accompanied by his pragmatic squire Sancho Panza, he sets out across the dusty plains of Spain to fight giants that are merely windmills, blurring the line between delusion and nobility in a series of tragicomic misadventures.

Miguel de Cervantes's colossal work is often cited as the first modern novel. It is a tragicomic masterpiece that interrogates the nature of reality and fiction, celebrating the invincible power of the human imagination against a cynical world. Its influence on Western literature is immeasurable, defining the archetype of the dreamer against the world.
