Synopsis
A witty, provocative history of the Devil that blends folklore, theology, and sharp social critique.
This edition presents Daniel Defoe’s satirical examination of evil, religion, and power, inviting readers to question what the Devil represents in culture and history rather than simply fearing him.
The work tracks how perceptions of the Devil shift from ancient myth to modern times. It casts a skeptical eye on religious authority and popular superstition, using humor and piercing insight to examine human vice and moral fate. Though filled with comedy, it also offers serious reflections on belief, power, and the limits of human understanding.- Explore how the Devil is portrayed across eras and how those images shape daily life.
- Consider questions about religion, authority, and the moral meanings we assign to evil.
- See Defoe’s distinctive blend of commentary, anecdote, and social observation.
