The stimulus to the creation of the book was the novel "Interludes of Romances", ridiculing the farmer, who went crazy after reading a lot of romances. The poor farmer threw his wife and began to wander in white light - which, in turn, made the hero of the novel Cervantes (except that Don Quixote was not married).
The novel consists of two parts: the first " The Ingenious Nobleman Sir Quixote of La Mancha", published in 1605; and the second "Second part of the Ingenious Nobleman Sir Quixote of La Mancha," published in 1615.
The most accurate translation by John Ormsby (1885).
