Don Quixote, originally published in two parts in 1605 and 1615, stands as Cervantes'' belated but colossal literary success.

His fevered imagination turns everyday objects into heroic opponents and stepping stones to greater glory; each exploit serves as a comic, yet disturbing commentary on the psychological struggle between reality and illusion, fact and fiction.
