don quijote de la mancha
Don Quijote de la Mancha, Miguel de Cervantes' iconic Spanish novel, follows an aging hidalgo who, having read too many chivalric romances, sets out as a knight-errant to revive forgotten ideals. Accompanied by his pragmatic squire Sancho Panza, he embarks on a series of misadventures, famously battling windmills he perceives as giants. This enduring literary masterpiece offers a profound, often humorous, exploration of idealism, reality, and the power of imagination.
