Book Description
Don Juan is a satiric poem by Lord Byron, based on the legend of Don Juan, which Byron reverses, portraying Juan not as a womanizer but as someone easily seduced by women. As a young man he is precocious sexually, and has an affair with a friend of his mother. The husband finds out, and Don Juan is sent away to Cádiz. On the way, he is shipwrecked, survives and meets the daughter of a pirate, whose men sell Don Juan as a slave. A young woman, who is a member of a sultan's harem, sees that this slave is purchased. She disguises him as a girl and sneaks him into her chambers. Don Juan escapes, joins the Russian army and rescues a Muslim girl named Leila. Don Juan meets Catherine the Great, who asks him to join her court. Don Juan becomes sick, is sent to England, where he finds someone to watch over Leila. Moving from one place to the next, Don Juan encounters new women and new adventures.

Book Description
Don Juan is an epic satirical poem that reinterprets the legendary figure of Don Juan as a young, naive, and passive adventurer who becomes involved in various romantic and adventurous exploits more by circumstance than by intent. The poem opens with Juan’s early life in Seville, where his strict upbringing by his mother Donna Inez contrasts sharply with his eventual affair with Donna Julia, a married woman. This scandal forces Juan to flee, setting him on a series of adventures across Europe and beyond. During his travels Juan is shipwrecked and captured by pirates, and then enslaved in Constantinople, where he is placed in a Sultan’s harem disguised as a woman. His journey takes him to Russia, where he becomes a favorite of Empress Catherine the Great, and later to England, where Byron satirizes British society’s pretensions and moral hypocrisies. Juan’s adventures are marked by his innocence and charm, which lead him into and out of various romantic entanglements and perilous situations. Don Juan was published in fits and starts between 1819 and 1824, having been written during a period of personal and political turbulence for Lord Byron. Byron, known for his rebellious and controversial lifestyle, composed the poem while living in exile in Italy, having fled England due to scandals and debts. Although the poem remains unfinished, with Byron having completed only sixteen cantos before his death, Don Juan stands as a profound and humorous exploration of the absurdities and contradictions of the human condition, wrapped in the adventures of its iconic protagonist. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
