The selected poems of a legendary romantic.Described as 'Mad, bad and dangerous to know' by one of his lovers, Lady Caroline Lamb, Lord Byron was the quintessential Romantic. Flamboyant, charismatic and brilliant, he remains almost as notorious for his life - as a political revolutionary, sexual adventurer and traveller - as he does for his literary work. Yet he produced some of the most daring and exuberant poetry of the Romantic age, from 'To Caroline' and 'To Woman' to the satirical English Bards and Scotch Reviewers, his exotic Eastern tales and the colourful narrative of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, the work that made him famous overnight and gave birth to the idea of the brooding Byronic hero.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Dette bind handler om Don Juans opvækst og hans dannelsesrejse, der ender rent ud sagt fatalt. Skibet forliser og han skylles ene mand op på den græske kyst. Han forelsker sig i en sørøvers datter og som straf for dette bliver han senere solgt som slave på det tyrkiske slavemarked.Det kræver sin mand (eller kvinde) at læse dette værk - man skal kende sine klassikere og sin historie - heldigvis har vi jo idag nettet som en stor hjælp. Ukendte personer samt sære vendinger kan i løbet af et øjeblik slåes op - så der er ingen undskyldning - bare kom igang!

Don Juan deltager i den Russisk-Tyrkiske krig, og kommer ud for mange blodige og grusomme begivenheder. Han redder en lille tyrkisk pige som han tager til sig. Efter sejren over tyrkerne bliver han sendt til Moskva som sendebud - czarinaen Katarina II forelsker sig voldsomt i ham og han opholder sig en tid lang ved dette hof. Af helbredsmæssige årsager m.m. bliver han som hemmelig gesandt sendt til England. Her optages han straks i de allerhøjeste kredse, hvis liv og færden her udmales i satiriske vendinger - og med god grund.Det kræver sin mand (eller kvinde) at læse dette værk - man skal kende sine klassikere og sin historie - heldigvis har vi jo idag nettet som en stor hjælp. Ukendte personer samt sære vendinger kan i løbet af et øjeblik slåes op - så der er ingen undskyldning - bare kom igang!

Lord Byrons store digt Don Juan er et genialt samfundsatirisk værk - her er den i sin oprindelige engelske version.
