CHAPTER I

 

In a village of la Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived a gentleman who wanted to became a             knight.

 

            He was fifty years old and lived in a house with his housekeeper and his niece.

 

            His name is Don Quixote fo La Mancha.

 

He likes reading books of chivalry and spends his nights reading. His favourite author is Feliciano de Silva.

 

He would like to be a knight-errant, roaming the world on horseback looking for adventures.

 

So the cleaned up some armour.  He decided to call his horse Rocinante and to call himself Don Quixote of La Mancha.

 

But now, he needs a lady to be in love with, and he decided to call her Dulcinea del Toboso.
