Alonso Quixano, a middle-aged gentleman fro La Mancha, Spain, loves books about knighthood and chivalry. He loves his books so much that he cannot separate them from reality. In his boyhood, this was no problem: he could play at killing giants and magicians until called to bed. But now, at the end of his life, he still clings to the old stories that his books tell him; he believes that they offer him one last change at glory.
