Answer 2

We all know Don Quijote...is a classical book and is great to read why dont you try reading it? i liked it soo much and it will help you improve your spanish
but if you need help...
Don Quijote y Sancho Panza, encarnan los dos tipos del alma española, el idealista y soñador, que olvida las necesidades de la vida material para correr en pos de inaccesibles quimeras, y el positivista y práctico, aunque bastante fatalista.
El Quijote ofrece una anécdota bastante sencilla, unitaria y bien trabada: un hidalgo manchego, enloquecido por las lecturas caballerescas, da en creerse caballero andante y sale tres veces de su aldea en búsqueda de aventuras, siempre auténticos disparates, hasta que regresa a su casa, enferma y recobra el juicio. Sin embargo, el conjunto de la trama no está diseñado de un tirón, sino que responde a un largo proceso creativo, de unos veinte años, un tanto sinuoso y accidentado:

The book tells the story of Don Quixote, 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.

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 opening phrase of the book de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme (whose name I do not want to recall) was made famous by the book, and, along with other phrases from the text, has become a common cliché in modern Spanish.

En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, no ha mucho tiempo que vivía un hidalgo de los de lanza en astillero, adarga antigua, rocín flaco y galgo corredor.
"In a place in La Mancha, whose name I do not want to recall, there dwelt not so long ago a gentleman of the type wont to keep an unused lance, an old shield, a greyhound for racing, and a skinny old horse"

Answer 5

Crazy guy fights windmills imagining or thinking the are giants. Sancho follows him around. He's in his own little world. Maybe he made it that way on purpose, maybe he's just crazy, maybe some of both? Thats why its such a good story I think. We are all a little crazy. Yet we should dream and maybe BE a bit crazy too.
