false <![CDATA[Don Juan]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170927637m/78249.jpg 78249 21 Byron's exuberant masterpiece tells of the adventures of Don Juan, beginning with his illicit love affair at the age of sixteen in his native Spain and his subsequent exile to Italy. Following a dramatic shipwreck, his exploits take him to Greece, where he is sold as a slave, and to Russia, where he becomes a favorite of the Empress Catherine who sends him on to England. Written in ottava rima stanza form, Byron's <I>Don Juan</I> blends high drama with earthy humor, outrageous satire of his contemporaries, and sharp mockery of Western societies, with England coming under particular attack. 75564 1958 Don Juan total:429|5:127|4:164|3:109|2:20|1:9| 429 1667 733 37 4 1 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Mon Aug 27 04:48:21 -0700 2007 Fri Dec 28 12:26:37 -0800 2007 "Let us ramble on. / I meant to make this poem very short, / ...more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Jun 15 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Nov 09 15:18:17 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 09 15:18:42 -0800 2009
