Witty, satirical epic verse follows a rakish hero through love, travel, and misadventure.
This edition presents Byron’s sweeping Don Juan in a lively, mock-heroic voice that blends sharp humor with romantic and social satire. Expect episodic scenes, vivid settings, and a bold, irreverent take on love, fame, and human folly across cultures and kingdoms.
