Don Quixote-the world's first novel and by far the best-known book in Spanish literature-was originally intended by Cervantes as a satire on traditional popular ballads, yet he also parodied the romances of chivalry. By happy coincidence he produced one of the most entertaining adventure stories of all time.
The highest creation of genius has been achieved by Shakespeare and Cervantes, almost alone.
