"Don Quijote" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a novel written during the early 17th century. The book explores the adventures of an aging hidalgo named Don Quijote, who becomes so enamored with tales of chivalry that he decides to become a knight-errant himself. Accompanied by his loyal squire, Sancho Panza, he embarks on a journey to revive chivalry and fight injustice, leading to a series of humorous and poignant misadventures. The opening of "Don Quijote" introduces the main character, an unnamed hidalgo whose obsession with chivalric novels leads him to lose his sanity. He resolves to become a knight-errant and adopts the name "Don Quijote de la Mancha." Cervantes presents his elaborate preparations, including the repair of old armor and choosing a steed, which he names Rocinante.
