Driven mad by reading too many chivalric romances, Don Quixote decks himself out in rusty armor and a cardboard helmet, determined to become a knight-errant and roam the world righting wrongs. Offering the governorship of an island, he persuades the practical Sancho Panza to become his squire. His inspiration on his quest is the peasant girl Aldonza, whom he idealizes as his queen of love and beauty, Dulcinea. From his first fighting encounter with a score of windmills, to his climactic confrontation with a victorious enemy, Don Quixote's feeble mind and heroic heart have earned him a place as one of the best-loved characters in fiction. 650 0 $a Don Quixote (Fictitious character) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Knights and knighthood $z Spain $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Spain $x Social life and customs $y 16th century $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Audiobooks. 700 1 $a Vance, Simon. 700 1 $a Smollett, T. $q (Tobias), $d 1721-1771. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20180808023925.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FFB6EC8838FE11E1860E2D9F6AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
