Features: This book tells the story of a Spanish landed gentleman, Don Quixote, who, under the influence of knight-errant novels, falls into a mad fantasy. He imagines himself as a heroic knight of the knightly era, traveling and adventuring with his squire Sancho Panza. Along the way, they engage in fierce battles with windmills and flocks of sheep, leaving themselves covered in wounds. However, Don Quixote shows no self-reflection, believing it to be the devil opposing him. In the end, he not only frees all the king's prisoners but also turns a hotel into a complete mess. Despite doing many absurd and foolish things, causing much trouble, Don Quixote remains steadfast in his passionate fantasy and courage after enduring all the hardships. The author of this book, Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616), was a great writer of the Spanish Renaissance. To date, this book has been translated into various languages and is an outstanding humanist novel.
