Dear Librarian, There have been countless stories told about the legendary lover, Don Juan, but never before have we had a chance to read his diary. Far from the heartless seducer that legend would recount, THE LOST DIARY OF DON JUAN reveals the story of a man who everyone has heard of but no one has really known. 1593 was a time of discovery and decadence, when the gold that poured endlessly into the port of Sevilla, Spain devalued money, marriage, and love itself. In this adventure love story and historical thriller, I hope you and your library's patrons will discover a hero that is true to the 16th-century but still fascinating to us in the 21st. To my amazement THE LOST DIARY OF DON JUAN has been translated into 30 languages and has just been optioned for a movie. Even the Spanish Government asked me to lead dozens of Spanish and international journalist around the streets of Sevilla in search of the man behind the myth. To read the first three chapters, please visit www.DonJuanSample.com. To learn more about the book and my five-year adventure researching and writing, please visit www.LostDiaryofDonJuan.com. BOOK CLUBS: I would be happy to join book clubs around the country and to send Don Juan's and my favorite Sangria recipe! Thank you for your love of books and support of new authors, Doug "One of the most compelling Don Juans in literary history." –Kirkus "The famously insatiable lover is brought brilliantly to life." –Publishers Weekly "So rich, so detailed, so colorful, The Lost Diary of Don Juan is a magic carpet of a book....Doug Abrams writes with such polish, immediacy, and authority, you pause to admire his mastery of narrative. The book, like its hero, is a seducer." –Frank McCourt, Pulitzer-Prize Winning Author of Angela's Ashes
