The release date for the English version of 'Don Quixote' by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is Feb 2003. If you enjoy this novel, it is available for buy as a paperback from Barnes & Noble or Indigo, as an ebook on the Amazon Kindle store, or as an audiobook on Audible.

Reading chivalric tales has so captivated Don Quixote that he decides to become a knight-errant himself. When he is accompanied by his devoted squire, Sancho Panza, his adventures take on an array of amazing possibilities. While Quixote's imagination often gets the better of him—he tilts at windmills, believing them to be enormous—Sancho develops guile and a certain level of wisdom. Together, the sane madman and the wise idiot have plagued readers' dreams for over 400 years as they travel the globe.

The first modern book, according to most, is Don Quixote, with its experimental form and literary fun. Many authors, including Fielding, Sterne, Flaubert, Dickens, Melville, and Faulkner, have been greatly influenced by the book and reread it annually, "just as some people read the Bible."
