An immediate success upon its publication and widely regarded as the world's first modern novel, Don Quixote chronicles the picaresque adventures of the noble knight-errant Don Quixote of La Mancha, a middle-aged Spanish gentleman who, obsessed with the chivalrous ideals found in romantic books, decides to take up his lance and sword to defend the helpless and destroy the wicked.
