DON QUIXOTE is the story of an aging gentleman who decides that he is a latter-day knight-errant, bound to sally forth to defend the world from evil. He enlists as his squire a neighboring peasant, Sancho Panza. Together they have many adventures across Spain until the gentleman's friends are able to convince him to return home and resume his old life. The most famous of all Spanish novels, the first part of DON QUIXOTE was published in 1605. The second part was published (after a spurious sequel was published by another author) in 1615.
