This German-language translation of the seminal Spanish masterpiece chronicles the misadventures of Alonso Quixano, an aging country gentleman who loses his sanity from reading too many chivalric romances. Renaming himself Don Quijote, he sets out across Spain as a wandering knight-errant alongside his pragmatic squire, Sancho Panza. The narrative satirizes medieval knightly ideals as the deluded protagonist famously battles windmills he mistakes for giants, exploring the tension between idealist delusion and harsh reality.
