Results for "Cervantes" in Epic

Widely regarded as one of the greatest novels ever written, Don Quixote is a timeless tale of adventure, imagination, and the enduring power of idealism. Inspired by tales of chivalry, the aging Alonso Quixano reinvents himself as the knight-errant Don Quixote and sets out with his loyal squire, Sancho Panza, to right wrongs and pursue heroic deeds. Along the way, their unforgettable journeys blend comedy, satire, and profound reflections on the nature of dreams, reality, and the human spirit.

Don Quixote has become so entranced by reading romances of chivalry that he determines to become a knight errant and pursue bold adventures, accompanied by his squire, the cunning Sancho Panza. As they roam the world together, the aging Quixote's fancy leads them wildly astray. At the same time the relationship between the two men grows in fascinating subtlety. Often considered to be the first modern novel, Don Quixote is a wonderful burlesque of the popular literature its disordered protagonist is obsessed with.
