Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes (1605/1615)

from Classic Books in 30 Minutes: Western and World Literature for Busy People · host Adam Diament

In a sun-scorched land of dreams and dust, an aging dreamer dons rusty armor, dubs himself Don Quixote, and sets off on a quest to revive chivalry. With his loyal squire Sancho Panza by his side, he battles windmills he mistakes for giants, woos a peasant girl he envisions as a princess, and chases glory through a world that laughs at his madness. Will his noble heart triumph, or will reality shatter his illusions? Dive into Cervantes' timeless tale of valor, folly, and the unyielding pursuit of ideals!
