About this Item

Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Don Quixote, a man who loses his mind after reading too many books of chivalry. Don Quixote becomes convinced that he must become a knight errant and go on adventures to right wrongs and win fame. He sets out into the world armed with a rusty suit of armor and a pasteboard helmet, believing himself to be a hero like those he has read about. The book follows Don Quixote's adventures, which are as absurd and comical as they are dangerous. Through his misadventures, the author satirizes the genre of chivalry romances, which were popular in Spain at the time. The book delves into themes of idealism, madness, and the power of imagination. Don Quixoteââ â ¢s misguided quest ultimately highlights the dangers of living in a world of fantasy and the importance of grounding oneself in reality. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from The Life and Exploits of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote De La Mancha

We come now to the catalogue of authors set down in other books that is wanting in yours. The remedy whereof is very easy; for you have nothing to do but to find a book that has them all, from A down to Z, as you say, and then transcribe that very alphabet into your work; and suppose the falsehood be ever so apparent, from the little need you have to make use of them, it signifies nothing; and perhaps some will be so foolish as to believe you had occasion for them all in your simple and sincere history. But though It served for nothing else, that long catalogue of authors will, however, at the first blush, give some authority to the book. And who will go about to disprove whether you followed them or no, seeing they can get nothing by it?
