Don Giovanni: Myths of Seduction and Betrayal - Hardcover

Mozart's famous opera is the starting point, though not always the destination, for this collection of specially commissioned essays on the Don Giovanni story. This is not an "academic" book, nor is it primarily one for opera-buffs, but rather one for everyone interested in a central topic of cultural history. Its reflections on the phenomenon of "Don Juanism" contributes to the unending debate about the balance of power between the sexes.
