«Don Juan revient de la guerre» is the play by Ödön von Horváth, published by L'Arche Editions in paperback (78 pages, in French).
After the First World War, Don Juan crosses a Germany in crisis searching for his former fiancée. Horváth turns the myth of the seducer into a contemporary man trapped by his desires, and makes him a central figure of modernity's contradictions.
«Don Juan revient de la guerre», translated into French by Hélène Mauler and René Zahnd, is part of L'Arche's Scène ouverte collection.
