Don Quixote, Part 1

Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Although published nearly 400 years ago in Spanish, this parody of the chivalrous life remains amazingly familiar in translation today—perhaps from the extensive influence it has played on novelists, playwrights and even composers over the centuries, or perhaps from its eternal story of the childlike and comic view of a decayed world by a madman stuck in a golden past.
