El Burlador de Sevilla y Convidado de Piedra is a play by the Spanish playwright Tirso de Molina. Published in 1630, it is considered one of the most important works of the Spanish Golden Age and the first literary version of the myth of Don Juan. The play tells the adventures of Don Juan, a young nobleman who dedicates himself to seducing and deceiving women, without caring about the consequences of his actions. Finally, Don Juan is punished for his sins by the statue of one of his deceased.
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.
