The Theatre of Don Juan
Author: Oscar Mandel
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803281370
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 748
Book Description
"Many good things are provided for our instruction and delight in this handsome volume. Chief among them perhaps, and most keenly wanted in a collection of this sort . . . are sanity and wit."?The Romanic Review "A most interesting literary history of the Don Juan theme with the plays or works themselves serving as illustrations. Professor Mandel's general introduction and his shorter introductions and commentaries throughout the book are solid, wise, and engaging."?Robert E. Taylor, Renaissance News "This anthology is exhaustive and informative, expertly translated, and, by virtue of its subject, damned exciting."?Quarterly Journal of Speech "[The translations] are lively and . . . quite faithful to the originals. . . . The long introduction could well stand alone: fruitful in original observations on the nature of Don Juan, spirited, argu-mentative, and quite personal."?Armand F. Singer, Hispania The eternal Don Juan, the creation more than 350 years ago of a monk and dramatist known as Tirso de Molina, has appeared on the boards as a thinker and fool, hero and villain, but never as anything less than a great lover. Oscar Mandel's Theatre of Don Juan presents different aspects of the Don's spectacular progress through a half-dozen countries, epochs, and intellectual climates. Here are full-length plays by Molina, Moli_re, Shadwell, Da Ponte, Grabbe, Moncrieff, Zorrilla, and Rostand; excerpts from plays by Shaw, Montherlant, and Frisch; plus a dozen critical and interpretative essays. In his introduction, Mandel examines the legend of Don Juan.

Dom Juan ou le festin de pierre

ISBN:
Category : Don Juan (Legendary character) in literature
Languages : fr
Pages : 196
Book Description
"L'hypocrisie est un vice à la mode, et tous les vices à la mode passent pour vertus" : voilà comment Dom Juan se justifie auprès de son valet Sganarelle, scandalisé de voir son maître tromper tout le monde autour de lui, des femmes les plus naïves qu'il séduit sans vergogne aux hommes les plus nobles qu'il mène par le bout du nez sans se démonter. De fait, Dom Juan n'a qu'une ambition : jouir de tous les plaisirs, sans jamais céder aux sirènes de la morale. Il lui faut toutes les voluptés et il les obtient facilement en manipulant ses victimes avec des mots trompeurs. Seule la mort pourrait l'arrêter : n'est-ce pas elle justement qui vient le chercher, lorsque la statue du commandeur s'anime sous ses yeux?

Don Juan
Author: Molière
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0547538820
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 163
Book Description
Don Juan, the "Seducer of Seville," originated as a hero-villain of Spanish folk legend, is a famous lover and scoundrel who has made more than a thousand sexual conquests. One of Molière's best-known plays, Don Juan was written while Tartuffe was still banned on the stages of Paris, and shared much with the outlawed play. Modern directors transform Don Juan in every new era, as each director finds something new to highlight in this timeless classic. Richard Wilbur's flawless translation will be the standard for generations to come, as have his translations of Molière's other plays. Witty, urbane, and poetic in its prose, Don Juan is, most importantly, as funny now as it was for audiences when it was first presented.
