The Three Don Juans

Originally published in French in 1915, The Three Don Juans is Guillaume Apollinaire's contribution to a centuries-long cultural fascination with the exploits of the legendary Italian libertine. Apollinaire's novel is a startlingly unique work of collage, transcribing and juxtaposing numerous previous accounts of Don Juan's life and travels, forging a new perspective on his legend by drawing together the disparate stories that have come down from the European past.
