Don Juan (Los mejores clásicos)
by Molière Tirso De Molina Lorenzo Da PonteLos mejores libros jamás escritos. «A mí la belleza me encanta dondequiera que la encuentre y cedo con facilidad a esa dulce violencia a la que nos arrastra.»Molière Leyenda popular, Don Juan se convirtió en personalidad literaria con el drama trágico El burlador de Sevilla, de Tirso de Molina. A partir de entonces protagonizó como héroe-villano obras de teatro, novelas y poemas, hasta convertirse en un carácter universal, comparable a Don Quijote, Hamlet y Fausto. Además del texto fundacional de Tirso de Molina, en este volumen recogemos por su relevancia el drama de Molière y el libreto de Lorenzo da Ponte para la ópera de Mozart Don Giovanni, que aquí presentamos en edición bilingüe. Un análisis del Don Juan como arquetipo de la literatura y el cine, a cargo de Jordi Balló y Xavier Pérez, acompaña las tres grandes obras que asentaron las bases del mito. De este modo, el presente volumen nos acerca a un personaje que ha seducido, como solo él puede, a lectores de todas las épocas. Gustave Flaubert dijo...«Las tres cosas más hermosas del mundo son: el mar, Hamlet y Don Juan.»
