Få böcker har haft samma genomslag som ”Don Quijote av la Mancha”. Berättelsen om den excentriske don Quijote, som efter att ha läst för många riddarromaner börjar tro att han är en riddare, har fängslat läsare i över 400 år. Tillsammans med sin vän Sancho Panza ger han sig ut på äventyr för att rätta till alla orättvisor han ser i det spanska samhället – trots att hans omvärld ofta ser verkligheten genom helt andra ögon.
