When a Bookworm Becomes a Knight: The Man Who Read Himself Mad
A middle-aged gentleman in rural Spain reads so many adventure novels that his brain overheats. He stops sleeping. He argues with the village priest about whether a fictional giant could defeat a fictional knight. His family watches in horror as he loses himself completely in fantasies of dragons, enchanted castles, and damsels in distress. Then one morning, he makes a decision that will echo through literary history: he will become the hero he's been reading about. He dusts off his great-grandfather's rusty armor, renames his skeletal horse "Rocinante," and christens himself Don Quixote of La Mancha. At fifty years old, gaunt and half-starved from neglecting meals in favor of books, he sets out to revive the age of chivalry in a world that has long since moved on. What follows is both hilarious and heartbreaking-a story about the collision between dreams and reality, between who we imagine ourselves to be and who the world insists we are. This is the genius of Cervantes' masterpiece: it makes us laugh at Don Quixote's delusions while secretly wondering if his madness might be the sanest response to an uninspiring world.
