E.T.A. Hoffmann
Książka w dwóch wersjach językowych: polskiej i niemieckiej. Don Juan. Z dziennika podróżującego entuzjasty / Eine fabelhafte Begebenheit, die sich mit einem reisenden Enthusiasten zugetragen. W interpretacji Hoffmanna Don Juan to osobowość demoniczna, nadczłowiek powstający przeciw światu małych ludzi. Wyposażony we wszelkie przymioty ludzkiej natury, zamiast dążyć do wyższych wartości, walcząc z namiętnościami, próbuje dojść do szczęścia poprzez niebiańską rozkosz połączenia się z kobietą. Nieustannie doznający rozczarowania i stale spodziewając się, że wreszcie dosięgnie ideału szczęścia, zaczyna w końcu odczuwać coraz głębsze znużenie i pogardę dla ludzi. Jego kolejne podboje nie są już poszukiwaniem rozkoszy, ale rodzajem obelgi i wyzwania dla ludzi wiodących płaskie, mieszczańskie życie, o tyle niższe od jego horyzontów. Łamiąc szczęście kochanków odnosił tryumf nad naturą i jej Stwórcą. Pragnie przekroczyć wszelkie granice i runąć w przepaść. (za Wikipedią).

Its target audience was the middle- and upper-class members of society—those who were more likely to be well educated—and exposes the poverty existing in two prosperous cities: Paris and London. The first part is an account of living in near-extreme poverty destitution in Paris and the experience of casual labor in restaurant kitchens. The second part is a travelogue of life on the road in and around London from the tramp's perspective, with descriptions of the types of hostel accommodation available and some of the characters to be found living on the margins.
