by Don Juan

“Don Juan” of Lord George Noel Gordon Byron is the peak of the creation of the great English poet-romantic, a great novel in poems that remains unfinished but has become one of the brightest, smartest and boldest satyrs in the history of world literature. Byron took the classic froging story of the unprincipe temptator and completely re-thinked it, turning his hero from a fraudulent devil into a sincere, attracted by the circumstances young man, and the poem itself into a large mirror of European life in the early 19th century. Because of a love scandal in his mother's Seville, his mother sends him on a journey that turns into a caledoscope of dangerous and curious events. Surviving a terrible ship crash, Juan falls on a Greek island and experiences a touching, pure love with the beauty of Hyde. Then he is sold to slavery in Istanbul, where he miraculously escapes the sultan's anger, escapes and finds himself in the troops of the Russian army under the command of Suvorov during the attack of Izmail. Showing courage, the young man falls into St. Petersburg to the courtyard of Catherine II, becomes her favourite and finally goes with a diplomatic mission to England to uncover the hypocrisy and tiredness of the highlight of London. Byron wrote "Don Juan" with incredible brightness, ease and virtuous use of oktaves. the poem is stunned from sharp contrasts: a high-ranking romantic lyrics is instantly replaced with a little irony, and the dramatic scenes are a sincere humor. The author continuously interrupts the story with his famous lyrical discrepancies, in which he openly and boldly discusses politics, war, love, religion, poetry and human nature. This is a life-confirming, ironic and deep work that breaks the masks from the Hanja society of the era. **About what the book in three words:** Passion, Satira, Adventures. **Who to read:** Lovers of genius classical poetry, lovers of sincere irony and delicate English humor, as well as everyone who wants to enjoy the great poetic journey through Europe of the Romantic era.
