Summary "Älykkään ritarin Don Quijote de la Manchan elämänvaiheet" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a classic novel written in the early 17th century. The story introduces the main character, Don Quijote, an aging nobleman who becomes so enamored with tales of chivalry that he decides to embark on an adventure as a wandering knight. This tale is rooted in themes of idealism versus reality and explores the nature of heroism and sanity. The opening of the book presents Don Quijote as a man deeply affected by his reading of chivalric romances, to the point that he loses his sanity and decides to revive chivalry himself. He dons old armor, names his horse Rosinante, and adopts the name Don Quijote de la Mancha. Determined to seek adventures, he sets out on his first quest, but his path soon leads him to misunderstand ordinary occurrences as great challenges, such as mistaking windmills for giants. This hilarious and poignant beginning sets the tone for the absurd and adventurous life that awaits him as he pursues an idealistic vision of knighthood. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
