El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha, often shortened to Don Quixote, is a Spanish novel by Miguel de Cervantes. Published in two parts, in 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote is considered one of the most influential works of literature from the Spanish Golden Age and the entire Spanish literary canon. The story follows Alonso Quixano, a hidalgo (nobleman) from La Mancha, who, after reading chivalric romances, decides to become a knight-errant himself and sets out to revive chivalry and serve his nation, under the name Don Quixote. He recruits a simple farmer, Sancho Panza, as his squire, who often uses a unique brand of down-to-earth wit in interacting with Don Quixote's rhetorical monologues. Don Quixote examines themes of reality, perception, sanity, and the power of stories. It is a foundational work of modern Western literature and a lasting exploration of the human condition.
