Published in two volumes a decade apart, Don Quixote is the most influential work of literature to emerge from the Spanish Golden Age and perhaps the entire Spanish literary canon. As a founding work of modern Western literature, it regularly appears at or near the top of lists of the greatest works of fiction ever published. The protagonist, Alonso Quixano, is a minor landowner who has read so many stories of chivalry that he descends into fantasy and becomes convinced he is a knight errant. Together with his companion Sancho Panza, the self-styled Don Quixote de la Mancha sets out in search of adventures. His "lady" is Dulcinea del Toboso, an imaginary object of his courtly love crafted from a neighbouring farm girl by the illusion-struck "knight" (her real name is Aldonza Lorenzo, and she is totally unaware of his feelings for her. In addition, she never actually appears in the novel).

This book contains the following story:

Don Quixote
This is the story of Alonso Quixano who reads so many chivalric romances he loses his grip on reality, coming to believe these tales involving the heroic exploits of mounted knights to be true. He takes up the lance and armour of a knight himself, renames himself Don Qixote, and embarks upon epic adventures across Spain, with the role of squire taken up by his servant Sancho Panza. The adventures include a number of humorous scenes, whereby Quixote charges at windmills which he perceives as ferocious giants, and stays at an inn which he perceives to be a mighty castle.
