«Don Quixote de la Mancha» is the novel by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra published by Oxford University Press España in paperback (1008 pages, in English).
Alonso Quijano, a Manchegan hidalgo driven mad by chivalric romances, takes to the roads as a knight-errant with his squire, Sancho Panza. Windmills, inns and flocks become imaginary exploits; the pair's comic misadventures question the boundaries between reality and fiction.
