Gonzalo Torrente Ballester was recognized as a "national treasure" of Spain during his lifetime. He has won numerous awards, including the Miguel de Cervantes Prize.

"Don Juan" is a hoax novel. It echoes Goethe's "Faust", Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita", Fowles' "The Magus" and variations of the legends about Don Juan.

Never talk to strangers. Especially when they introduce themselves as Don Juan's servant, Leporello, and hint at their devilish origins. From this moment on, the hero's consciousness balances between the 20th and 17th centuries. And all this is because of Don Juan. A girl blinded by love shoots him, but the famous seducer is cursed, he cannot die. But his soul can periodically inhabit the hero. Under the power of obsession, a novel within a novel is born, and the plot splits into two levels of reality. In one, the hero tries to escape from a trap and win the girl who is enchanted by Don Juan. In the second, Don Juan tells how he almost became a monk and why he killed the Commander.
