Super Short Summary

Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes chronicles the adventures of Alonso Quixano, a middle-aged Spanish nobleman who, inspired by tales of chivalry, rebrands himself as Don Quixote, a knight errant, and sets off to revive knighthood. Accompanied by his loyal squire, Sancho Panza, Don Quixote embarks on a series of misguided but noble quests, battling windmills he mistakes for giants and interpreting everyday events as grand adventures, all while grappling with delusions and the harsh realities of the world.
