A classic literature story about the adventures of an eccentric hidalgo who adopted the name of Don Quixote de la Mancha, when his brain became so addled from reading too many romances on knighthood that his "wit was wholly extinguished" and he "fell into one of the strangest conceits that ever madman stumbled on in this world." This story was an immediate and extraordinary success, and it is still being read by college and literature students and professors who want "sophisticated literature."
