About the Book

Dans un palais de Ferrare, le jeune Don Juan et le prince de la maison d'Este sont reunis pour un festin accompagne de sept jeunes et jolies courtisanes. Les jeunes gens discutent et Don Juan se plaint a sa compagnie de la longevite de son pere, Bartholomeo Belvidero, un richissime nonagenaire qui lui a toujours permis de vivre dans un grand luxe et sans jamais rien lui interdire. Lorsqu'on les interrompt pour prevenir le jeune homme que le vieillard est mourant, Don Juan se rend au chevet de son pere qui lui revele alors qu'il est en possession d'une fiole contenant un liquide qui permettra de le ressusciter. Pour cela, il necessite cependant l'aide de son fils qui doit le frictionner tout entier apres sa mort. Devant le cadavre de son pere, Don Juan ne parvient pas a se soumettre a la derniere volonte de son pere. De ce fait, les servants commencent l'embaumement du corps. Le soir venu, Don Juan se decide a imbiber d'elixir l' il de son pere qui reprend aussitot vie. Stupefait par l'action de ce mysterieux liquide, Don Juan decide de crever l' il de son pere, commettant ainsi un parricide. Pour ne pas eveiller de soupcons, il enterre son pere avec tout le faste permis et fait poser une statue majestueuse sur la tombe du defunt. Don Juan devient richissime et veritablement puissant; il peut donc librement s'abandonner aux plaisirs de la vie et a la conquete des plus hautes societes. Il acquiert une grande popularite aupres de la societe mondaine et meme du pape; il conservera toute sa vie la fiole pour assurer sa propre resurrection. Quand il devient, a son tour, un homme vieux et vulnerable, il se retire dans un chateau non loin de la ville de San Lucar et epouse une jeune Andalouse devouee et gracieuse, du nom de Done Elvire. Tout l'inverse de son pere, le fils de Don Juan, Philippe Belvidero, est vertueux et pieux, et Done Elvire et lui prennent soin du vieillard jusqu'a son dernier jour, non pas par amour pour sa personne mais pour gagner un maximum d'argent. Don Juan, sentant la mort approcher, fait appeler son fils et lui demande, a son tour, la meme faveur que son pere des annees auparavant, mais sans pour autant lui reveler les vertus du contenu de la fiole. Philippe execute les instructions de son pere et donne peu a peu vie a son visage puis a son bras droit avec lequel il etrangle le jeune homme qui lache la fiole, laissant s'echapper le precieux liquide. En quelques instants, une foule s'amasse autour du corps du vieillard qui a recupere son visage de jeune homme. Tous les ecclesiastiques et autres temoins prennent la decision de canoniser Don Juan. Lors de son enterrement, Don Juan prononce des injures blasphematoires et la tete du vieillard tue un abbe en se detachant du corps."
