He is a ruthless charmer, always on the lookout for his next conquest. Hardly has he seduced Duchess Isabella in Naples with an infamous trick and escaped to Spain from her fiancé, when he also deceives the beautiful Tisbea with the same cold-bloodedness on his way there. He is already preparing to play his game in Seville with Dona Ana: Don Juan is the epitome of the seducer, a sensual rogue beyond all morality, and not even exile seems capable of stopping him! The allure of this demonic womanizer has endured through the centuries and shines through the works of countless artists, from Molière to Mozart, from Alexandre Dumas to Max Frisch. This volume of Myths of the World illuminates the story of Don Juan in its original form, tracing back to the drama by Tirso de Molina from 1630, to reveal the full complexity of this legendary figure. Humans are the only known beings that tell stories. Myths, tales, and legends shape and guide us, whether as oral traditions around the campfire, as meaningful epics for peoples and nations, or as postmodern narratives. In Myths of the World, former French Minister of Education Luc Ferry and screenwriter Clotilde Bruneau delve into the origins of those stories that have stood the test of time and continue to inspire, shock, and fascinate us today. Each volume presents a complete narrative, carefully adapted and beautifully rendered as a comic, with its philosophical and cultural heritage explained in a comprehensive supplementary section.
