Don Quichot van La Mancha

Don Quichot van La Mancha

by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Don Quichot is een ridderroman van Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, die in 1605 werd gepubliceerd. Het verhaal volgt de avonturen van Don Quichot, een man die, geïnspireerd door ridderromans, de wereld in trekt om onrecht te bestrijden en de wereld een betere plaats te maken. Hij wordt vergezeld door zijn trouwe knecht Sancho Panza, die een meer realistische kijk op de wereld heeft. Don Quichot ziet overal avonturen en gevaren, terwijl Sancho Panza probeert zijn meester terug te brengen naar de realiteit. De roman is een satires op de ridderromans van die tijd, maar ook op het idealisme en de naïviteit van de mensheid. Don Quichot is een tragikomisch personage, die tegelijkertijd grappig en bewonderenswaardig is. De roman is een klassieker en wordt beschouwd als een van de belangrijkste werken in de Spaanse literatuur.
