Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The History of Don Quixote, Volume 2, Part 29" 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 minor nobleman who loses his sanity from reading too many chivalric romances and reinvents himself as the knight-errant Don Quixote. Accompanied by his practical squire Sancho Panza, he embarks on adventures where fantasy collides with reality, tilting at windmills and mistaking inns for castles in his quest to revive chivalry.
