Don Juan
Synopsis
Lord Byron's epic poem follows the infamous Don Juan through a whirlwind of adventures across Europe and beyond. From scandalous beginnings in Spain to encounters with empresses and pirates, Juan's journey is marked by wit, satire, and a healthy dose of mischief. This work is celebrated for its brilliant use of ottava rima and its sharp, often humorous, commentary on society.
