The History of Don Quixote, Volume 1, Part 02 by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

"The History of Don Quixote, Volume 1, Part 02" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a novel originally published in 1605. A Spanish hidalgo reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his sanity and decides to become a wandering knight. Renaming himself Don Quixote, he recruits a simple farm laborer, Sancho Panza, as his squire. Together they embark on absurd adventures, mistaking windmills for giants and inns for castles, as Don Quixote struggles to see reality through his delusions of knightly glory.
