Written as a diary in a somewhat slow way, the novel reveals character of the famous lover who practiced only physical love with women. In fact, he lost his emotions after an unhappy love story with a girl in his young age. But, after numberless love affairs which are not described too much and with too many tickling details, as one would expect, Don Juan truely falls in love, again and his love story ends in the novel a bit mystically. Although it is written that he was killed by the Inquisition, the author ends the novel with a legend that his body was never found and that his girlfriend left the convent (where she went after his capion by the Inquisition) with a mysterious priest, so that nothing was known about them afterwards. This leaves a hope to the reader that the lovers were saved and escaped from the hands of the strange Middle Ages’ persecutors in the name of religion.

I kept reading this book for a long time, and it is not my habit, I either read a book very quickly or I don’t read it at all. But not this one, as if I didn’t want to separate from it too soon. Once again don Juan proved that women loved him. Or, he still lives in the minds of women.:lol:
