“For neither good nor evil can last forever; and so, it follows that as evil has lasted a long time, good must now be close at hand.”
One fine day, Alonso Quixano, a hidalgo from La Mancha, picks up the armor, renames himself Don Quixote and sets to right the wrongs and defend the helpless. Obsessed with chivalric romances, he decides the only way to make things better is to become a knight-errant himself, Don Quixote is a complex and contradictory character; he is idealistic, brave, and always willing to fight for what he believes in.
However, he is also delusional and often misinterprets the world around him. On this eventful journey he is accompanied by his squire Sancho Panza, who is a more practical man.
They navigate a world where the line between illusion and reality blurs. While they chase their dreams and idealistic visions, they are soon faced with grave consequences in trying to build the perfect world.
Don Quixote through his adventures in the rich landscape of medieval Spain, raises pertinent questions about what it means to be a citizen, and reminds us of the power in the common man’s will and determination.

About Author
Best known for his masterpiece Don Quixote, Cervantes ingeniously blended humor, social commentary, and profound character development. He immersed himself in humanistic disciplines such as literature, philosophy, and Latin, which laid the foundation for his future literary career. In 1585, Cervantes published his first work, a pastoral novel titled La Galatea, which received moderate acclaim. However, it failed to bring him the recognition and success he desired. In the final years of his life, Cervantes continued to write and publish works, including the sequel to Don Quixote, Second Part of the Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha. Cervantes’ remarkable journey from humble beginnings to literary greatness serves as an inspiration, highlighting the power of perseverance, resilience, and the enduring impact of
artistic vision.
