Don Juan

Gonzalo Torrente Ballester was recognized as a "national treasure" of Spain even during his lifetime. A laureate of numerous awards, including the Miguel de Cervantes Prize. An unnamed hero encounters an extravagant passerby on the street, who is called Leporello.... He speaks of his master Don Juan and hints at his devilish origin. From that moment, the hero becomes a guide between two realities, and his consciousness balances between the 20th and 17th centuries. And all of this is because of Don Juan. He is mortally wounded but cannot die. His soul periodically inhabits the hero. Under the spell of the vision, a novel within a novel is born. In it, Don Juan reveals the mystery of his downfall and tells about the true reason for the murder of the Commander.
