A middle-aged man named Alonso Quixano, obsessed with tales of chivalry, renames himself Don Quixote and sets out to become a knight-errant. Accompanied by his loyal but skeptical squire Sancho Panza, he embarks on a series of misadventures across Spain, mistaking inns for castles, windmills for giants, and peasant girls for enchanted princesses. His delusions lead to comic and tragic encounters with townsfolk, prisoners, lovers, and tricksters, all of whom reflect the blurred line between reality and imagination. As Don Quixotes fame spreads, he becomes both mocked and admired, a symbol of idealism in a disenchanted world. The novel explores themes of madness, identity, and the power of storytelling, ultimately portraying Don Quixote as a noble figure undone by his own illusions but redeemed by his unwavering pursuit of virtue and meaning.
