Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"The History of Don Quixote, Volume 2, Part 26" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a section of a novel originally published in two parts in 1605 and 1615. The story follows Alonso Quijano, a hidalgo who loses his sanity from reading too many chivalric romances and becomes the knight-errant Don Quixote. Alongside his squire Sancho Panza, he embarks on adventures where fantasy collides with reality, mistaking windmills for giants and inns for castles, in his quest to revive chivalry.
