«El burlador de Sevilla o El convidado de piedra» is the play attributed to Tirso de Molina, published by Cátedra in paperback (272 pp., Spanish).
Don Juan, a Sevillian nobleman who seduces women of different social standing and defies social and religious norms, gave rise to the literary myth of the seducer. The play combines amorous intrigue with the theme of honor and divine justice, culminating in the famous encounter with the statue of the Commander, the stone guest.
This edition from the Letras Hispánicas collection (no. 58), edited by Alfredo Rodríguez López-Vázquez, contrasts the variants «El burlador de Sevilla» and «Tan largo me lo fiáis».
Recommended for students and readers interested in Spanish classical theater and 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.
