Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Many good things are provided for our instruction and delight in this handsome volume. Chief among them perhaps, and most keenly wanted in a collection of this sort . . . are sanity and wit."?The Romanic Review "A most interesting literary history of the Don Juan theme with the plays or works themselves serving as illustrations. Professor Mandel's general introduction and his shorter introductions and commentaries throughout the book are solid, wise, and engaging."?Robert E. Taylor, Renaissance News "This anthology is exhaustive and informative, expertly translated, and, by virtue of its subject, damned exciting."?Quarterly Journal of Speech "[The translations] are lively and . . . quite faithful to the originals. . . . The long introduction could well stand alone: fruitful in original observations on the nature of Don Juan, spirited, argu-mentative, and quite personal."?Armand F. Singer, Hispania The eternal Don Juan, the creation more than 350 years ago of a monk and dramatist known as Tirso de Molina, has appeared on the boards as a thinker and fool, hero and villain, but never as anything less than a great lover. Oscar Mandel's Theatre of Don Juan presents different aspects of the Don's spectacular progress through a half-dozen countries, epochs, and intellectual climates. Here are full-length plays by Molina, Moli_re, Shadwell, Da Ponte, Grabbe, Moncrieff, Zorrilla, and Rostand; excerpts from plays by Shaw, Montherlant, and Frisch; plus a dozen critical and interpretative essays. In his introduction, Mandel examines the legend of Don Juan.

Book excerpt: "L'hypocrisie est un vice à la mode, et tous les vices à la mode passent pour vertus" : voilà comment Dom Juan se justifie auprès de son valet Sganarelle, scandalisé de voir son maître tromper tout le monde autour de lui, des femmes les plus naïves qu'il séduit sans vergogne aux hommes les plus nobles qu'il mène par le bout du nez sans se démonter. De fait, Dom Juan n'a qu'une ambition : jouir de tous les plaisirs, sans jamais céder aux sirènes de la morale. Il lui faut toutes les voluptés et il les obtient facilement en manipulant ses victimes avec des mots trompeurs. Seule la mort pourrait l'arrêter : n'est-ce pas elle justement qui vient le chercher, lorsque la statue du commandeur s'anime sous ses yeux?

Download or read book Don Juan written by Lord Byron and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2024-07-20T17:20:38Z with total page 838 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don Juan is an epic satirical poem that reinterprets the legendary figure of Don Juan as a young, naive, and passive adventurer who becomes involved in various romantic and adventurous exploits more by circumstance than by intent. The poem opens with Juan’s early life in Seville, where his strict upbringing by his mother Donna Inez contrasts sharply with his eventual affair with Donna Julia, a married woman. This scandal forces Juan to flee, setting him on a series of adventures across Europe and beyond. During his travels Juan is shipwrecked and captured by pirates, and then enslaved in Constantinople, where he is placed in a Sultan’s harem disguised as a woman. His journey takes him to Russia, where he becomes a favorite of Empress Catherine the Great, and later to England, where Byron satirizes British society’s pretensions and moral hypocrisies. Juan’s adventures are marked by his innocence and charm, which lead him into and out of various romantic entanglements and perilous situations. Don Juan was published in fits and starts between 1819 and 1824, having been written during a period of personal and political turbulence for Lord Byron. Byron, known for his rebellious and controversial lifestyle, composed the poem while living in exile in Italy, having fled England due to scandals and debts. Although the poem remains unfinished, with Byron having completed only sixteen cantos before his death, Don Juan stands as a profound and humorous exploration of the absurdities and contradictions of the human condition, wrapped in the adventures of its iconic protagonist. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Banned after its creation in 1665 because of the threat that it posed to conventional beliefs and ways, Don Juan was not appreciated until the middle of the twentieth century. Since then, its extraordinary theatricality and its daring, and very modern, discussion of philosophical and social matters has made it Moliere's most performed and most studied work in France and in continental Europe generally. In English-speaking countries, however, it is still relatively unknown.".

Download or read book Aspects of Byron s Don Juan written by Peter Cochran and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aspects of Byron’s Don Juan is, in part, a proceedings volume from the 2012 conference held by the Newstead Byron Society at Nottingham Trent University. Speakers represented in the book include Malcolm Kelsall, Peter Cochran, Diego Saglia and Itsuyo Higashinaka. Topics range from the politics of Don Juan, and its treatment of women, to its comic rhymes. One section is devoted to the poem’s importance in the literatures of Spain and Russia, another to the vast catalogue of Byron’s prose sources (from cannibalism to cookery books), and a final section to the important role played by Mary Shelley in copying most of the poem for the printer. The editor’s introduction describes the enormous literary tradition of which Don Juan forms a vital continuation, from Pulci’s Morgante Maggiore, via Rabelais, Cervantes, and Montaigne, to the novelists Sterne, Smollett and Fielding, all of whom Byron adored. Another chapter concerns the differing ways in which Don Juan has been treated by other artists, from Tirso de Molina, via E. T. A. Hoffman, to Johnny Depp.
