El burlador de Sevilla

In the palace of Naples, a nameless man begins a chain of seductions and deceptions that will transform him into the quintessential seducer. Don Juan Tenorio deceives duchesses and peasant women alike, protected by his lineage and a corrupt society where justice is powerless. This Baroque tragicomedy gave rise to the literary myth of Don Juan, which has inspired countless theatrical adaptations and musical works. This edition, edited by Héctor Brioso Santos, offers a meticulously revised text, new notes, and an introductory study that unravels the play's secrets and clarifies the mystery of its authorship, which belongs not to Tirso de Molina, but to the actor and playwright Andrés de Claramonte, the brilliant creator of a protean, ambiguous, and immortal character.
