"Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a story about an older man named Don Quixote, who, after reading too many books about knights, decides to become one himself. With his helper, Sancho Panza, he goes on adventures to bring back the days of chivalry, even though the world has moved on. The book makes fun of the old-fashioned ideas of knights and looks at what happens when someone's dreams don't match reality, showing how funny and sad it can be when someone chases after a world that doesn't exist anymore. The story kicks off by showing us Don Quixote's personality, why he wants to be a knight, and his strange choice to take on this role, diving headfirst into a quest filled with humor and thought-provoking moments as he and Sancho Panza meet new people and face ridiculous situations.
