About This Novel
This book is written by the French eighteenth-century writer Le Sage. More than sixty years ago, the Spanish writer Luis de Guevara wrote a book of the same name. Lesage borrowed the name of the book and also used the structure of the original book to write the current book. Donclefas of Madrid, after being forced into marriage, escaped, accidentally got into the laboratory of an astrologer, and released the lame devil Asmodeus who was locked in a glass bottle. In order to repay him, the devil took him flying over Madrid and opened all the roofs, allowing him to see all kinds of hidden privacy. For example, the children hope that the miser father will die soon, the marquis defrauds the girl's body with lies, the prostitute fools around with the dignitaries for money, the old woman uses wigs and dentures to hide her old age, the banker transfers money abroad, the innocent are tortured in prison, and the knights fight for the girl. Finally the devil showed him Doña Tomasa drinking with four men, and avenged him by sending the woman to prison, and then he was recalled by the astrologer and locked up in a bottle.
