Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a snapshot of life in 18th-century England through a series of fictional stories connected by the ever-present narrator, Asmodeus, a self-proclaimed devil. The author takes the reader on a journey through London society, visiting brothels, the theater, and fashionable salons, along the way satirizing the vices and follies of the aristocracy. These stories are loosely connected by the character of Don Cleofas, a Spanish nobleman who acts as the audience surrogate as he is personally taken through these scenes by Asmodeus. This book's strength is in the detail with which it brings to life the texture of everyday life in 18th-century England, particularly among the upper classes. The author satirizes the vanity, folly, and casual cruelty of the aristocracy but tempers this with the occasional virtuous character. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the social history of 18th-century England and the human condition itself. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
