  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.
