Don Quixote

Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

At the beginning of the book we meet a man named Alonso Quixano. Alonso is growing in years and has enough money to keep him from having to work or clean up his own house. So he spent most of his free time reading, and none of the books he was more interested in than a book about medieval knights riding and slaughtering dragons and kissing the hands of a fair woman and you will. Got that picture

It turns out that Alonso likes his books too much because one day he decides to dress in old armor and become a knight himself. He took the name Don Quixote and began riding up and down the countryside in search of adventure. The only problem is that giants and dragons do not exist. But fear not, because Don Quixote has a keen imagination that he believes in everyday things. (Such as windmills, for example) is a giant monster.

During the first part of the trip, Don Quixote had a close friend named Sancho Panza.Sancho didn't believe all the crazy things Quixote said, but he knew Quixote had a fair amount of wealth and hoped to make money by hanging out with that man. As the story continues, Sancho finds himself beginning to believe in Don Quixote's madness and he hopes that someday Don will give him an island to rule.

As Don Quixote and Sancho set off together for an adventure, there are too many plotlines to talk about in this short summary.For an insight into everything that happened in the book, go through the chapters one by one. Our details

There are some Don's friends who want to cure his mania, and they plan everything for him to go home to his bed. But they tend to underestimate Don Quixote's power of imagination - not to mention the extent to which people are crazy about books. Just look at this Jane Austen fan if you don't believe us.

At the end of the novel, Don Quixote realizes he is a madman. But at that point, it was too late. A friend had a terrible fever, slept in bed. His only wish was to let everyone know how stupid the Book of Knights of Courage is. It's as if someone today said "Hey everyone who's still watching a superhero movie: grow up!" And that's why Cervantes said he wrote the book more or less.
