'The Devil Upon Two Sticks' by Alain René Le Sage, a satirical novel originally published in 1707, offers a biting commentary on 18th-century French society. The story follows the student Don Cleofas Leandro Perez Zambullo, who, with the assistance of the demon Asmodeus, gains the ability to see into the hidden lives and secrets of the inhabitants of Madrid. Asmodeus removes the roofs from houses, exposing the intrigues, hypocrisies, and follies of various social classes. Le Sage’s work blends humor and sharp social critique, revealing the moral decay and absurdities prevalent in the era. This edition includes ’Asmodeus’s Crutches, A Critical Letter Upon The Work’ and ’Dialogues Between Two Chimneys of Madrid,’ providing additional context and analysis of the novel’s themes and significance. 'The Devil Upon Two Sticks' remains a relevant and insightful exploration of human nature and societal flaws, appealing to readers interested in classic literature and social satire.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
