The first part bears the name of the noble genius Don Quixote de la Mancha, and appeared in 1605, while the second part appeared in 1615 under the title of the knightly genius Don Quixote de la Mancha. Cervantes was imprisoned in the Royal Prison in Seville between September and December of 1597 after the bankruptcy of the bank in which he had deposited the money.

Cervantes was alleged to have embezzled public funds after irregularities in his accounts were found. In prison, the novel Don Quixote de la Mancha was born, as noted in the introduction to the work. But at the same time, it was not clear what he meant, whether it was written while he was imprisoned, or whether he was inspired by the idea there. Don Quixote's novel is the first to demystify the chivalric tradition with its graphic treatment of the matter.
