In his satiric poem Don Juan, Lord Byron refigures the legend as a man easily seduced by women, rather than as a dangerous womanizer. When the first two cantos were anonymously published in 1819, they were criticized for being immoral. They were also immensely popular. Byron only completed 16 cantos, leaving the 17th unwritten when he died in 1824. Don Juan is commonly considered to be his masterpiece.

    Byron's narrative of the loss of the wager de John Byron (Usuari anònim)
    Usuari anònim: Byron obviously knew his grandfather's Narrative and drew some inspiration from it for the shipwreck episode. Quite apart from that, John Byron's harrowing and haunting tale still makes a fine read.

    Asimov's annotated "Don Juan" de Lord Byron (Usuari anònim)
    Usuari anònim: Asimov's annotated Don Juan is unfortunately scarce and expensive. But worth having by any true aficionado of the greatest comic epic in the language. Asimov's annotation is at once more extensive and more accessible than what Byronic scholars have to offer.… (més)

Bloody great book. I think a lot of people don't realize that as a poet/writer Byron was in a sense closer to 18th century satirists like, say, Swift than he was to his Romantic so-called cohorts ... and yet he's often considered some kind of "arch"-Romantic. Naah. His great talent, I'd say, was a comic one, and it's in Don Juan -- even unfinished as it is -- that this comic genius burns most brightly. It isn't just the funny-as-hell "Hudibrastic" rhymes he often employs, it's ... oh, hell, he was just such a funny damned bastard. Mean, spiteful, but funny. ( )

While this isn't complicated to read, this is one long poem. This might be my favorite out of all Byron wrote. I love the langue and how he wrote the poem. Keep in mind this is a satire on epic poems. While I didn't find this funny, it was cleaver and witty. ( )

So much better than I remembered from college. The rhymes, humor, and slights. Life may certainly be not worth a potato when you are looking for a rhyme for Cato. A fun novel length poem ( )

This was tremendous fun to read. Byron's personality infuses the work and he's a likable, open-hearted narrator. It's a picture of England just before the clouds of Victorian prudery turned love from a game to a chore. It also has a strong anti-war subtext that I wasn't expecting. A great read and a real surprise!

One of my favorite works of poetry. Fantastic. A man's poet. ( )

In spite of its romantic trappings Don Juan is as "true" as anything by Maupassant or Chekhov or Somerset Maugham, and the reason is Byron's infallible sense, as his style matured, for the immediacy of a situation and of those taking part in it. In the midst of Eastern local color, which could be as vapid as Lalla Rookh, the oriental tales in verse by his friend Thomas Moore, he has a Shakespearean sureness for the touch that makes all live...

Wherever Juan goes, even into the kitchen where he sees "cooks in motion with their clean arms bare," his creator seizes on the vital impression. Though Byron in fact corrected lavishly, and had second or third thoughts like any other writer, it remains true of him, as he said, that when composing he was like a tiger, which if it misses its first spring goes growling back to the jungle.

I want a hero: an uncommon want, when every year and month sends forth a new one, Till, after cloying the gazetts with cant, The age discovers he is not the true one; Of such as these I should not care to vaunt, I'll therefore take our ancient frien Don Juan--We all have seen him, in the pantomime, Sent to the devil somewhat ere his time.

What are the hopes of man? Old Egypt's King Cheops erected the first pyramid And largest, thinking it was just the thing To keep his memory whole, and mummy hid; But somebody or other rummaging, Burglariously broke his coffin's lid: Let not a monument give you or me hopes, Since not a pinch of dust remains of Cheops.
There's not a sea the passenger e'er pukes in, Turns up more dangerous breakers than the Euxine.
A better cavalier ne'er mounted horse, Or, being mounted, e'er got down again.
