In 2002, organized by the Nobel Institute in Oslo, one hundred well-known writers voted it the \"best book in the world\". Don Quixote is a reader addicted to chivalric novels who seems incapable of distinguishing between fiction and reality. He sees himself as a proud knight on adventure who wants to win over his beloved Dulcinea del Toboso . To do this, he mounts his rickety horse Rosinante and goes on numerous adventures, accompanied by his loyal squire Sancho Panza (also: Sancho Pansa). The episodes usually end with Don Quixote being beaten by brutal opponents, but winning against innocents with little glory as the \"Knight of the Sad Countenance\". On the run from the alarmed order of knights, he seeks shelter in the Sierra Morena and meets the lovesick penitent Cardenio, who has lost his beloved Lucinda to his best friend Fernando. Panza sends a messenger to the priest and the barber, who hatch a plan to save his master. Dorothea is presented as Princess Micomicona, who is dependent on Don Quixote's help. The young people are able to completely reconcile with one another.","author":"Miguel de Cervantes","isbn":"978-0140449099","genre":"fiction","publicationYear":1605,"image":"https://cdn.kobo.com/book-images/767321a7-25fe-4fd9-914e-c5170c6ebfcf/353/569/90/False/don-quixote-214.jpg","detailUrl":"https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Quijote","createdAt":"2024-06-22T12:20:33.282Z","updatedAt":"2024-06-23T13:43:37.291Z"},{"id":2,"title":"To Kill a Mockingbird","description":"Set in the racially charged South during the Depression, the novel follows a young girl and her older brother as they navigate their small town's societal norms and prejudices.
