Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes (1605)
Don Quixote is a classic novel set in Spain in the 1600s and is considered to be one of the most influential works of literature of all time.
It follows the adventures of Alonso Quixano, an elderly gentleman who reads so many books about knights that he goes mad and decides to become one himself.
Quixano takes on the name Don Quixote and sets off with his loyal sidekick Sancho Panza to battle windmills and save damsels in distress.
Along the way he meets characters such as the Duke and Duchess, who play pranks on him, and the priest and barber, who try to restore Quixote's sanity.
Don Quixote and Sancho Panza encounter a variety of adventures and mishaps on their travels, including being kidnapped by a band of gypsies.
As the novel progresses, Quixote slowly begins to accept that his dreams of knighthood are not realistic and decides to return home.
The novel is a satire of chivalry and romance and is also a commentary on the social and political life of Spain in the 1600s.
