About this book

One spring day, Don Juan arrives in the garden of a cook living beside the ruins of a French monastery. Over seven evenings, the legendary traveller tells of encounters with women of incomparable beauty, while the listener gradually understands that this is not the familiar seducer. Peter Handke strips the myth of conquest and retells Don Juan through attention, loss and storytelling, giving an immortal literary figure another unexpected life. Originally written in German as “Don Juan: (erzählt von ihm selbst)”, the work appears here in an Arabic translation by Samir Grees.
