Don Quixote, Literary masterwork in Madrid, Spain.
The novel follows an aging Spanish nobleman who becomes obsessed with chivalric romances and decides to become a knight-errant named Don Quixote.
Miguel de Cervantes published this influential work in two parts, with the first volume released in 1605 and the second following in 1615.
The character Sancho Panza represents the agricultural class of Spain, while Don Quixote embodies the declining noble class during the Spanish Golden Age.
Modern readers can access numerous English translations of Don Quixote through libraries, digital platforms, and academic institutions worldwide.
The book introduces the concept of metafiction, as characters in the second part discuss the publication and reception of the first part.
