29.99 €
The dexterous and daring Don Juan charms ladies and destroys families because he is confident of his impunity. Dona Juana is separated from her lover and resorts to amazing tricks to bring him back to her. The robber and murderer Enrico turns out to be more pious than the monk Paulo, who has long since lost faith in God. In each of the three plays, the Spanish playwright Tirso de Molina subtly depicts life itself, full of contradictions and human passions.
This edition contains the original text of Tirso de Molina's three most famous plays: "The Seville Prankster, or the Stone Guest", "Don Gil Green Trousers" and "Condemned for Lack of Faith". Each play is accompanied by a parallel translation by V. A. Pyast, a Russian symbolist poet, translator and literary theorist, as well as expressive illustrations.
For ease of reading, each line in Russian is located opposite the corresponding stanza in Spanish. This arrangement will allow you to easily compare the original text with the translation, pay attention to the difficulties the translator encountered, and mark the most accurately translated fragments. Hardcover with gold embossing, illustrations, gift wrapping inside, and a gold ribbon bookmark add sophistication and appeal to the book. It can be purchased not only for your collection, but also as a gift to your dear and close people.
