Don Quixote

Bol

"Don Quixote" is a foundational work of Western literature and is often cited as the first modern novel. The story follows the adventures of Alonso Quixano, a minor Spanish noble who, after consuming an excessive number of chivalric romances, loses his sanity and decides to become a knight-errant. Taking the name Don Quixote de la Mancha, he sets out to revive chivalry, protect the defenseless, and bring justice to the world, all in the name of his imagined lady, Dulcinea del Toboso.Accompanied by his pragmatic and faithful squire, Sancho Panza, Quixote travels across 17th-century Spain. Their journey is marked by iconic encounters-most notably the battle with windmills that Quixote perceives as giants-and a series of comedic, often painful mishaps. This edition features the classic translation by Peter Motteux, as revised by Ozell, preserving the wit and irony of Miguel de Cervantes' narrative style. Through the dynamic between Quixote's soaring idealism and Sancho's grounded realism, Cervantes explores complex themes of identity, truth, and the thin line between madness and wisdom. A brilliant satire of the knight-errant tradition, "Don Quixote" remains a profound exploration of the human condition and a cornerstone of world literature.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
