| Summary | "Les trois Don Juan" by Guillaume Apollinaire is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the legendary figure of Don Juan, introducing multiple incarnations, including Don Juan Tenorio from Spain, Don Juan de Maraña from Flanders, and Don Juan from England. The narrative delves into themes of love, seduction, and the darker elements of desire, portraying how these different versions of Don Juan approach romance and the consequences of their actions. The opening of the story sets a dramatic tone by exploring the early life of Don Juan Tenorio, who is born into a noble family amidst a backdrop of astrological omens and family foreshadowing. His mother, Doña Clara, experiences a troubled pregnancy filled with ominous dreams, leading her to seek the counsel of an astrologer, Master Max Jacobi. The astrologer's predictions hint at a tumultuous future for Don Juan, leading to a humorous yet tense interaction filled with predictions of both greatness and moral peril. This opening frames a story rich in fantastical elements, intrigue, and the complex interplay between destiny and free will, drawing readers into the world of seduction and personal conflict that follows.
