Don Quixote of the Mancha, Retold by Judge Parry by Parry and Cervantes Saavedra
"Don Quixote of the Mancha," retold by Judge Parry and based on the work of Cervantes Saavedra, is a classic novel written in the early 17th century. The book captures the adventures of the delusional yet noble protagonist, Don Quixote, who is a man so consumed by tales of chivalry that he decides to embark on his own quest as a knight-errant, alongside his pragmatic squire, Sancho Panza. This retelling aims topresent the story in a simpler narrative form for younger readers, preserving the humor and wisdom inherent in the original text. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Don Quixote, a gentleman from La Mancha who has become so obsessed with tales of knights that he sets out to become one himself, rechristening himself as Don Quixote. After acquiring some old armor and renaming his horse Rozinante, he prepares for his journey, filled with zeal and the desire to right wrongs. His first attempt at knighthood occurs when he tries to rescue an imagined damsel but instead finds himself in an inn, which he mistakes for a castle. As he interacts with the inn's occupants, his misinterpretations lead to comical and absurd scenarios, setting the stage for the rich adventures and misadventures that follow in his quest for glory.
