Don Juan, the "Seducer of Seville," originated as ahero-villain of Spanish folk legend, is a famous lover andscoundrel who has made more than a thousand sexual conquests. Oneof Molire's best-known plays, Don Juan was written while Tartuffewas still banned on the stages of Paris, and shared much with theoutlawed play. Modern directors transform Don Juan in every newera, as each director finds something new to highlight in thistimeless classic. Richard Wilbur's flawless translation will be thestandard for generations to come, as have his translations ofMolire's other plays. Witty, urbane, and poetic in its prose, DonJuan is, most importantly, as funny now as it was for audienceswhen it was first presented.

In eight new stories, a master of the form extends and magnifies her great themes--the vagaries of love, the passion that leads down unexpected paths, the chaos hovering just under the surface of things, and the strange, often comical desires of the human heart. Time stretches out in some of the stories: a man and a woman look back forty years to the summer they met--the summer, as it turns out, that the true nature of their lives was revealed. In others time is telescoped: a young girl finds in the course of an evening that the mother she adores, and whose fluttery sexuality she hopes to emulate, will not sustain her--she must count on herself. Some choices are made--in a will, in a decision to leave home--with irrevocable and surprising consequences. At other times disaster is courted or barely skirted: when a mother has a startling dream about her baby; when a woman, driving her grandchildren to visit the lakeside haunts of her youth, starts a game that could have dangerous consequences.
