Don Juan

Více o knize

The poem reimagines the legendary Don Juan as a man who is easily seduced rather than a notorious womanizer, presenting a unique twist on the epic genre. Known as an "Epic Satire," it consists of over sixteen thousand lines and is regarded as Byron's masterpiece. He completed 16 cantos and left the 17th unfinished at his death in 1824, admitting he had no specific plans for the story's continuation. The work showcases Byron's wit and commentary on societal norms, making it a significant contribution to literature.
