Don Juan, a young nobleman from Seville, deceives women of different social standing by posing as other men and defies social and religious norms until the statue of the commander, the stone guest, drags him to his punishment. A foundational work of the Don Juan myth, the text combines the comedy of intrigue with tragic elements and a reflection on honour and divine justice.

Recommended for students of Spanish literature and for readers who want to discover the theatrical origin of the Don Juan myth with an annotated edition.
