"The History of Don Quixote de la Mancha" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a story about an older gentleman who loses himself in books about knights and decides to become one himself. Living in La Mancha, he's so obsessed with chivalry that he sets off to find adventure, wearing old armor and calling himself "Don Quixote." He imagines his ordinary horse is a great steed and goes out to do good. His journey begins with him seeing a regular inn as a fancy castle, leading to funny and strange situations. These early adventures show how Don Quixote’s imagination makes him see the world differently, highlighting both the comedy and the sadness of his situation as he tries to live a heroic fantasy.
