Miguel Manara, written 1912, is undoubtedly Milosz?s best known work. It is the story of the original Don Juan, who ended his days in a monastery following a disordered life. It is a play in six acts, which tells the story of a nobleman of that name. It is a story of dissatisfaction of the human heart with a life of sel sh instinctivity, a story of conversion. It is a story of how a true love opens a path towards the reconcili- ation of the heart with all things. It is a story of the journey of a human heart to holiness.
