«Don Juan» is the novel by Gonzalo Torrente Ballester published in 1982 by Editorial Orbis in hardback (346 pages, in Spanish).
Torrente Ballester reinterprets the Don Juan myth with irony: the seducer, guided by Leporello, inhabits the body of a narrator and dictates his memoirs to him. Duels and challenges to heaven and hell follow one another across various eras and settings, between the fantastic and reflection on fiction.
The novel was originally published in 1963. The 1982 edition belongs to the Historia de la Literatura Española collection (no. 18).
For readers of twentieth-century Spanish fiction and for those who enjoy reinterpretations of the Don Juan myth.
Gonzalo Torrente Ballester was a Spanish writer associated with the Generation of '36 movement.
