Description
In the twilight of the eighteenth century, the legendary Don Juan has vanished, leaving behind a world of aristocratic grandees in Seville to grapple with his absence. As his estranged son, Don Saturno, inherits the estate, he confronts the hollowness of his family's legacy and the fading relevance of their noble obligations. This allegorical tale, penned with Sylvia Townsend Warner's characteristic wit and sharp insight, explores themes of inheritance, disillusionment, and the societal shifts that render old myths obsolete. It offers a profound meditation on the consequences of a life lived by legend and the stark realities that follow.
