Miguel de Cervantes wrote it.
Don Quiojte is the crazy guy that thinks that everything is enchanted. He wants to be chivalrous and fight against all evil.
The windmills are giants in his mind. He tries to fight them in order to conquer evil and to remain a chivalrous knight.
I used no sources... I have read the story many times and took a course on it. The information comes from the book.

1.Dale Wasserman wrote the literary work
2.Don is "Don Quixote de la Mancha (now usually spelled Don Quijote by Spanish-speakers - a man who has read so many stories about brave errant knights that in a senile and confused state, he believes himself to be a knight and sets out to fight injustice in the name of his beloved maiden Dulcinea del Toboso
3. The adjective "quixotic", at present meaning "idealistic and impractical", derives from the protagonist's name, and the expressions "tilting at windmills" and "fighting windmills" come from this story.
the expression " tilting at windmills" is significant as it indicated Don was confronting an imaginary threat.
