Book summary

A gentleman of La Mancha has read so many tales of chivalry that he loses his mind. Calling himself Don Quixote, he takes to the road on a thin old horse, with Sancho Panza, a talkative peasant full of common sense, to whom he has promised an island. The knight mistakes inns for castles and windmills for giants.

Funny and moving at once, this novel gave the whole world a famous image: tilting at windmills. It is often called the first modern novel.

With the translation always in front of you, you can read this great classic in the language you are learning.
