Ringkasan
This five-chapter book presents a captivating blend of illustrations, graphics, fonts, and storytelling designed specifically for children. Each page is carefully crafted to avoid monotony, with key phrases highlighted to enhance comprehension. For over four centuries, this legendary tale has been passed down from generation to generation. Don Quixote is a man gripped by delusions, believing himself to be a valiant knight. He sees the world through a paranoid lens, perceiving harmless situations as great threats that must be defeated. However, this danger exists only in his imagination. Unable to distinguish fantasy from reality, he acts out his illusions. What troubles him most is his tendency to cause physical harm to others during his misguided quests. His erratic behaviour causes people to view him as crazy, and in doing so, they gradually lose respect for him. The downfall is his own doing. In the end, he suffers greatly and abandons the identity of Don Quixote, asking instead to be remembered as Alonso Quixano—the man behind the mask of knightly obsession. But by then, it was too late. His life, along with the chaos in his mind, had reached its final chapter.
