Don Juan, ou le Festin de pierre

by Molière

"Don Juan, ou le Festin de pierre" by Molière is a five-act prose comedy first performed in 1665. The play follows the final thirty-six hours of dom Juan Tenorio, a libertine seducer and religious skeptic, accompanied by his cowardly servant Sganarelle. After abandoning his wife and pursuing other women, dom Juan encounters his past victims, his pursuing brothers-in-law, and ultimately issues a blasphemous invitation to a stone statue. Mixing farce with tragedy, this controversial work faced violent criticism and wasn't published until after Molière's death.
