Don Quixote
Miguel de Cervantes
In Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote, the well-read Alonso Quixano becomes so obsessed with tales of knights and chivalry that he renames himself "Don Quixote de La Mancha" and takes off on a deteriorating horse in search of his own knightly adventures. This is one of the most-read (and longest) novels in the world, and it showcases author Miguel de Cervantes' own sense of purpose and ability to cope with misfortune and disillusion — the kind that Cervantes' hero experiences.
