«El burlador de Sevilla» is the Golden Age drama by Tirso de Molina, published by Aubier in paperback: bilingual French-Spanish edition.
Don Juan, a Sevillian nobleman, seduces and deceives women of different social standings with false promises of marriage, defying the honour of others and social norms. The work, between comedy and moral critique of the Golden Age, shows how his abuses and lack of scruples eventually catch up with him.
Original title of the work: El burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra. This Aubier edition (1994) is bilingual French-Spanish, has 192 pages and was prepared by Pierre Guenon.
Suitable for students of Spanish literature and for readers interested in Golden Age theatre and the evolution of the Don Juan myth.
