Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "The Devil on Two Sticks" is a masterful satirical novel by Alain Rene Le Sage that offers a witty and biting critique of human folly and societal hypocrisy. The story follows the adventures of Don Cleofas Leandro Perez Zambullo, a young nobleman who inadvertently frees the demon Asmodeus from a glass vial. In gratitude, the "limping devil" takes Cleofas on a nocturnal journey across the rooftops of Madrid. By magically lifting the roofs of houses, Asmodeus reveals the private lives, secret vices, and hidden scandals of the city's inhabitants, ranging from deceitful lovers to greedy merchants.Blending elements of the picaresque with sharp social commentary, the work serves as a panoramic mirror of 18th-century morals and manners. Through a series of vignettes and interconnected tales, Le Sage explores themes of vanity, ambition, and the fragility of human reputation. This classic of world literature remains celebrated for its ingenious narrative structure and its enduring insights into the complexities of the human condition. "The Devil on Two Sticks" continues to captivate readers with its blend of supernatural fantasy and timeless observational humor.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
