Synopsis

It's the classic adventure of a madman: the "renowned Don Quixote de la Mancha." He attacks windmills, believes a peasant girl to be a lady, and fancies that he is a knight-errant, dedicated to righting wrongs and rescuing damsels in distress.

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The highest creation of genius has been achieved by Shakespeare and Cervantes, almost alone.
