Pubblicata nel 1615, la seconda parte di quest'opera nasce come risposta a una falsa continuazione del Quijote. Considerata la più influente opera della letteratura in spagnolo e parte fondamentale del Canone Occidentale, è riconosciuta come la prima romanzo moderno e polifonico, con un impatto significativo sulla narrativa europea. Cervantes, nel prologo, difende ironicamente la sua opera e lamenta le difficoltà dell'arte di romanzo, alludendo all'insaziabile fantasia. La novella gioca con diversi livelli di realtà, inclusa l'edizione della prima parte e quella apocrifa, che i personaggi hanno letto. Cervantes affronta le incongruenze della prima parte, come la riapparizione del rucio di Sancho e il destino dei denari in Sierra Morena. In questa consegna, don Quijote e Sancho sono consapevoli del loro successo letterario e sono riconosciuti da altri personaggi. La storia inizia con il rinnovato desiderio di don Quijote di avventurarsi nuovamente, affrontando la resistenza della sua nipote e dell'ama.
