"I am a retired College English Teacher and College president living in a retirement community. I was asked by a diverse group of friends at breakfast ( Ph.Ds in Geology, Botany, English, and a couple of non-academics) to read some literature with them.
I ordered 5 copies of this work for this purpose. In addition, I used the Boyer, Laughton, Morehead, & Hardwick recording. If one enjoys Shaw and ideas, the "Don Juan" dream sequence is hard to beat. And the $2 price is fantastic. On the other hand, if one prefers escape literature, this is probably the wrong cup of tea."
"Ana: I am going to heaven for happiness. I have had quite enough of reality on earth.
Don Juan: Then you must stay here; for hell is the home of the unreal and of the seekers for happiness. It is the only refuge from heaven, which is, as I tell you , the home of the masters of reality, and from earth, which is the home of the slaves of reality."
