Published in two parts (1605 and 1615), Don Quijote is considered one of the greatest works of fiction ever written. The story follows the adventures of a nobleman, Alonso Quijano, who becomes obsessed with chivalric romances and decides to become a knight-errant, renaming himself Don Quijote. Alongside his trusty squire, Sancho Panza, Don Quijote embarks on a series of misadventures, battling windmills, rescuing damsels in distress, and righting wrongs.
