Tirso de Molina

著者について

Tirso de Molina, born Gabriel Téllez, was a prominent Spanish playwright, poet, and monk of the Baroque period. He is best known for his innovative contributions to the development of the Spanish comedia and for his creation of the legendary character Don Juan in the play "El burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra." His works reflect the complexities of human nature and societal norms of his time, often intertwining themes of love, deception, and morality with a keen sense of humor and dramatic tension. Tirso's writing not only entertained but also provoked thought, making him a significant figure in the evolution of Spanish literature.
