The full title of this book is The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha. Parts Two and Three of the book include other stories alongside the main narrative. In a village called La Mancha in Spain, there lived a gentleman named Alonso Quijano, nearly fifty years old. He was so captivated by knight-errant novels that he became obsessed with the idea of becoming a knight himself and practicing the chivalry of the Middle Ages: to fight alone, to subdue the strong and help the weak, to uphold justice, and to gain fame for posterity. He patched together a dilapidated set of armor, renamed himself Don Quixote, and rode a sorry horse named Rocinante, wielding a spear and shield. Amidst the scorching heat of July, he set out early in the morning, embarking on the life of a knight-errant.
