The legend of Don Juan told threefold, the Spaniard, the Fleming, and the Englishman, in a lavishly illustrated retelling of history's great seducer.

Guillaume Apollinaire's 1914 'The Three Don Juans' recounts the varied legends of the archetypal libertine, adorned with masterworks of art. Erudite, sensual, elegant. Read it for a great modernist poet's take on the immortal Don Juan legend, in French.
