About
Written by Miguel de Cervantes, the novel is fully titled The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote of La Mancha. It was published in two volumes (one in 1605 and one in 1615), and is largely considered the most influential piece of literature to come out of the Spanish Golden Age, and even the entirety of all Spanish literary works. The story centers around Alonso Quixano, a retired man who has become obsessed with books of chivalry, and believes them to be true. In time, Quixano puts such belief in the stories he reads that he appears to others to have lost his mind. In love with Dulcinea, Quixano embarks upon a number of quests, calls himself Don Quixote, and meets Sancho Panza along the way.
Upon This Rock
In the Ikebukuro district of Tokyo, Hiro tells a ramen vendor that he seeks his "first officer, Sancho Panza." Hiro, whose mind has been scrambled, explains that he requires transport to Sancho Panza, who is his sidekick. Then, Hiro comes to the aid of a woman. He returns the woman's purse saying, "Your handbag, my Dulcinea."
