Don Juan, Canto 1

George Gordon, Lord Byron
(4,575 Sterne; 40 Bewertungen)
Don Juan is a long narrative poem by Byron, based very loosely on the legend of the evil seducer, Don Juan. The first and second of (eventually) seventeen Cantos composed during Byron's self-imposed exile from England appeared, anonymously, in July 1819 and were greeted with scandal, condemnation, admiration and hilarity. Modern critics generally consider the self-proclaimed 'epic', which remained incomplete at Byron's death, to be his masterpiece. (Summary by Peter Gallagher) (1 hr 24 min)

very good reading! except... the pronunciation of the Spanish name Juan. aside from that, it was very enjoyable, variation in voice, timing, and some dramatisation. thank you very much!

The canto is fun and Byron witty. Overall, the reader is good, but pronounces Spanish names with English rules.
