«El burlador de Sevilla» is the classic play by Tirso de Molina, published by Diario El País, S.A., in paperback (142 pages, in Spanish).
Don Juan Tenorio, the Sevillian trickster, seduces women through deceit and impersonation, ignoring warnings and disregarding social and religious conventions. Tirso de Molina brings to the stage, for the first time, a character drawn from popular tradition and turns him into a myth that has inspired later authors.
The work was originally published as «El burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra». Edition from the Clásicos Españoles collection by El País, no. 14.
Suitable for students of Spanish literature and for readers who want to discover the origin of the Don Juan myth.
Gabriel Téllez, O. de M., also known as Tirso de Molina, was a Spanish Baroque dramatist and poet, as well as a Mercedarian friar, and Catholic priest. He is primarily known for writing The Trickster of Seville and the Stone Guest, the play from which the character Don Juan originates. His work also includes female protagonists and the exploration of sexual issues.
