About this book
Creators: Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616) and John Ormsby (1829-1895) [Translator] "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a Spanish novel published in two parts in 1605 and 1615. Considered the first modern novel, it follows Alonso Quijano, a man who reads so many chivalric romances that he loses his mind and reinvents himself as the knight-errant Don Quixote. Accompanied by his earthy squire Sancho Panza, he embarks on misguided adventures, mistaking windmills for giants and inns for castles, determined to revive chivalry in a world that has moved on.
