The novel that invented the modern world — and never stopped being relevant.

Don Quixote has read so many tales of chivalry that he loses his grip on reality and sets out into the Spanish countryside to become a knight-errant. Accompanied by the loyal Sancho Panza, he tilts at windmills, rescues damsels who need no rescuing, and turns every dusty road into an epic adventure. Cervantes created the first modern novel by writing a book that laughs at books — and at the human need to believe in something greater than ourselves.

Published in two parts in 1605 and 1615, Don Quixote of La Mancha is the most widely translated secular work in history and the foundational text of the Western literary tradition. Four centuries of novelists — from Flaubert to Kafka to Borges — have acknowledged their debt to these pages.
