| Summary |
"Dulce y sabrosa" by Jacinto Octavio Picón is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces Don Juan de Todellas, a charming Madrid nobleman whose greatest passion is to court women, relishing in the art of seduction rather than the eventual conquest. The book explores themes of love and desire, interweaving personal reflections on life, arts, and relationships. At the start of the novel, the author presents a thoughtful warning to the reader, suggesting that this work serves as an entertaining escape from the tedium of life rather than a moral lesson. The narrative then introduces Don Juan, characterized as a compulsive seducer with a largely romantic view of life, who thrives on the allure of women without seeking any lasting attachments. The opening chapters paint a vivid picture of his peculiar charm and extravagant pursuits, as he embarks on the journey of desire and the ensuing reveries that accompany them.
