ISBN:
Alonso Quijano, un noble español envejecido de la región de La Mancha, pierde por completo su control sobre la realidad después de leer obsesivamente innumerables historias de caballeros medievales. Creyendo que es su deber sagrado revivir la tradición olvidada de la errancia de caballeros, se cambia el nombre a sí mismo Don Quijote, pule un traje de armadura vieja, monta su caballo desgastado Rocinante y se propone cruzar España para defender los indefensos y correctos errores sociales, y ganarse el favor de un amor femenino imaginario, Dulcinea del Toboso.

Él recluta a un agricultor local simple y pragmático llamado Sancho Panza para que sirva como su leal escudero prometiéndole la futura gobernación de una isla. Juntos, el dúo se embarca en una serie de desventuras famosamente desastrosas impulsadas completamente por los profundos delirios de Don Quijote. Carga de cabeza contra los molinos de viento gigantes creyendo que son gigantes feroces, confunde humildes posadas del campo con majestuosos castillos y ataca a rebaños de ovejas pensando que son enormes ejércitos opuestos. Mientras Sancho hace todo lo posible para conectar a tierra a su maestro en la realidad, a menudo se encuentra arrastrado por el caos. Combinando comedia aguda con matices trágicos, la novela funciona como una brillante parodia de los romances medievales y una profunda exploración del idealismo, la cordura y la búsqueda humana de significado.
