Don Quixote

by Miguel de Cervantes

A would-be knight and his practical companion set out to bring chivalry back to the world.

About this book

Immersed in tales of chivalry, a country gentleman reinvents himself as Don Quixote and rides out seeking adventure. Sancho Panza accompanies him, bringing practical concerns to a journey in which inns and windmills take on heroic meanings.

Cervantes moves between comedy and tenderness as his travelers negotiate imagination and experience. Their conversations explore the stories people live by and how companionship can change dreamer and realist alike.

The partnership between Don Quixote and Sancho gives the long journey its changing emotional center. Their arguments and shared mishaps gradually create a bond richer than the initial contrast between an idealist and his practical companion might suggest. This edition is in Spanish.
