Don Quixote

"Too much sanity may be madness—and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be!"

Enter the world of the original mad genius, Don Quixote. Miguel de Cervantes' towering masterpiece is not just the first modern novel; it's a timeless, hilarious, and deeply moving saga that has influenced literature for over four centuries.

Alonso Quijano, a Spanish nobleman, reads too many chivalric romances and decides to resurrect the age of knights. Renaming himself Don Quixote of La Mancha, he sets off on absurd adventures, mistaking windmills for giants, innkeepers for lords, and peasant girls for his noble lady, Dulcinea.

Accompanied by his pragmatic (and increasingly philosophical) squire, Sancho Panza, Quixote's quest is a brilliant exploration of:

Illusion vs. Reality: The tragicomic battle between what is and what we wish it to be.

The Power of Imagination: A defense of dreams and idealism in a cynical world.

The Dawn of the Novel: A foundational text of Spanish literature that effortlessly blends humor, adventure, and profound commentary.

Whether you're engaging with a modern translation like Edith Grossman or the classic Smollett, the core truth remains: Don Quixote is an essential read.
