Widely considered the first modern novel, Don Quixote is a real classic. This book is full of adventures of Don Quixote, knight errant and his dedicated squire Sancho Panza. There is too much to easily summarize but the themes focus on chivalry, insanity, and friendship. Sancho is said to be "simple" over and over again but he consistently makes the most astute observations and statements. The characters are often the butt of ridicule and pranks but soldier on as if their fantasy world is reality and they stick to their principles. It isn't difficult to see modern parallels.
