"Don Quixote" is a novel written by Miguel de Cervantes and published in two
parts, in 1605 and 1615. It is one of the most famous works in world
literature.
The novel tells the adventures of a nobleman named Alonso Quichano, who
becomes obsessed with chivalry tales and decides to become a knight-errant
under the name Don Quixote. With his squire, Sancho Panza, Don Quixote sets
out on a quest for heroic adventures to defend the oppressed and restore
justice in what he sees as a corrupted world.
However, Don Quixote's exploits are often marked by his madness and vivid
imagination. He confuses reality with the illusions he creates, mistaking
windmills for giants and inns for castles. Despite this, Don Quixote inspires
admiration and compassion from those he encounters.
The novel explores profound themes such as madness, reality, idealism, and
disillusionment. It highlights the contradictions of Spanish society in the
17th century and offers a reflection on the nature of fiction and truth.
"Don Quixote" is not only a satirical critique of the popular chivalry novels
of its time but also a meditation on the human condition, the search for
meaning, and the limits of illusion. The work is considered one of the
masterpieces of Spanish literature and a foundational work of Western
literature.
