Summary
Lord Byron's satirical take on the legend of Don Juan is a moving and witty poem that sees the young hero in a reversal of roles. Juan sheds his image as a womanizer and instead becomes the victim of circumstance as he is relentlessly pursued by every woman he meets. Comprising 17 cantos of rhyming iambic pentameter, the poem is a crisp and accessible meditation on the madness of the world.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Wonderful
What made the experience of listening to Don Juan the most enjoyable?
The poem comes alive and I had the sensation of having Byron in my room chatting with me.
A great work and a marvelous reading.
I laughed out loud a lot. Thoroughly recommended.

Good eading of an epic.
It can feel like a bit of slog to get though due to iit's length, but worth the effort to get to grips with one of Lord Byron"s greats.
It's not going to easy to get through the lot. The audio book has been split into each canto so every chapter is very long which makes it hard work too.
Byron tells an epic tale here with his trademark wit and asides galore to poke fun at his contemporaries, those that definately needed lampooning.
it's great work done justice by the reader. High quality recording and a work that holds up surprisingly well over the centuries. Who new rhyming iambic pentamiter could.be so much fun?
