Don Quixote's battle by the windmill

Published more than 400 years ago by Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote is the story of Alonso Quijano, a low-born member of nobility who spends so much time reading chivalric romances that he goes insane and decides to become a knight-errant himself. He appoints a pragmatic farmer named Sancho Panza as his squire, and so begins one of the most epic adventures in literary history.
