Don Juan (Spanish) an Don Giovanni (Italian) is a legendary, fictional libertine whose story has been told many times by many writers. El burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra, by Tirso de Molina, is a play set in the fourteenth century that was published in Spain around 1630. Evidence suggests it is the first written version of the Don Juan legend. The second work in Spanish literature about this man is the play Don Juan Tenorio, by José Zorrilla, written in 1844.
