  Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

  He traded his sanity for a rusty sword, a noble steed, and a dream of chivalry that the world had long forgotten. 
  In this crowning achievement of world literature, Alonso Quijano, an aging gentleman utterly consumed by romantic books of chivalric knights, loses his grip on reality. Renaming himself Don Quixote de La Mancha, he dons a makeshift suit of armor and sets forth across the Spanish countryside to right wrongs, protect the innocent, and win the favor of his imaginary lady love, Dulcinea. Accompanied by his pragmatic, proverb-spouting squire, Sancho Panza, the self-proclaimed knight tilts at windmills he believes to be fierce giants, mistakes dilapidated inns for grand castles, and turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. What follows is a tragicomic journey of profound depth, where delusion clashes with reality, and madness is sometimes far more noble than sanity. 
  Why you will love this: This cornerstone of Classic Fiction essentially invented the modern novel as we know it. Weaving biting satire with boundless humanity, epic quests, and the ultimate buddy-comedy dynamic, its exploration of idealism versus cynicism remains as sharp, moving, and hilarious today as it was over four centuries ago. 
  About the Author: Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547–1616) was a Spanish soldier, captive, and visionary author. Despite enduring profound hardships—from crippling battlefield injuries to five years of enslavement in Algiers—he poured his boundless intellect and irrepressible humor into his writing, immortalizing himself as the greatest literary figure in the Spanish language.

  Notes from Underground also translated as Notes from the Underground or Letters from the Underworld) is a novella by Fyodor Dostoevsky, first published in the journal Epoch in 1864. It is a first-person narrative in the form of a "confession": the work was originally announced by Dostoevsky in Epoch under the title "A Confession".The novella presents itself as an excerpt from the memoirs of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man), who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg. Although the first part of the novella has the form of a monologue, the narrator's form of address to his reader is acutely dialogized. According to Mikhail Bakhtin, in the Underground Man's confession "there is literally not a single monologically firm, undissociated word". The Underground Man's every word anticipates the words of an other, with whom he enters into an obsessive internal polemic.
