Source Name: This is the second of two volumes of Miguel De Cervantes' classic 'The Life and Adventures of Don Quixote De La Mancha' translated by Charles Jarvis from the original Spanish for the 1842 Henry G. Bohn publication. The story follows the trials and tribulations of the knight-errant Don Quixote, who is so enamored by the fictional knight errantry of chivalrous novels that he thinks himself a knight of this ilk.
