‎Le Sage Alain Rene‎

‎ASMODEUS or The Devil on Two Sticks. Le Diable boiteux. Translated by Jospeh Thomas. With Illustrations in Colour & Black & White by Kitty Shannon‎

‎New York: G. H. Doran Company 1925. Cloth-backed boards gilt t.e.g. Some chipping and staining to binding but internally a very clean copy. 8vo. xxiv323pp. Eight coloured plates including the frontispiece and sixteen plates in b&w. This edition which seems to be a reprint of a translation originally published in 1841 was made up from English sheets with a new titlepage. The original French edition of "Le Diable boiteux" was published in 1707 and although an original novel was influenced at least in its outline and title by "El Diablo cojuelo" 1641 a Spanish work by Don Luiz Velez de Guevara. The plot of "Le Diable boiteux" concerns a demon who is released by Don Cl�ophas Zambullo from a bottle where he had been imprisoned by an astrologer. To amuse Zambullo and to thank him for his freedom the demon takes his benefactor on a tour of Madrid lifting the roofs off house to reveal what's going on inside. In this manner Le Sage is able to provide a satirical portrait of the vices of Parisian society of the day. Le Sage is probably better known for his 4-volume novel "Gil Blas de Santillane" 1715-1735 translated into English by Tobias Smollett who knew a thing or two about satire himself. G. H. Doran Company hardcover‎

‎ASMODEUS OR THE DEVIL ON TWO STICKS; From the French of Alain Rene le Sage: With a Memoir of the Author. Illustrated by Tony Johannot‎

‎London: Willoughby and Co. 1840. Octavo pp. i-v vi-xvii xviii xix-xxiii xxiv 3 4-274 note: text complete despite gap in pagination eight inserted plates each with tissue guard with engravings signed "GD" after illustrations by Tony Johannot numerous other vignette illustrations by Johannot throughout the text original pictorial plum cloth front and spine panels stamped in blind spine panel stamped in gold a.e.g. yellow coated endpapers. First printing of the Willoughby edition. The preferred anonymous English translation and the best illustrated edition of LE DIABLE BOITEUX a classic French fantasy first published in Paris in 1707 and first published in English as LE DIABLE BOITEUX; OR THE DEVIL UPON TWO STICKS in 1708. The Willoughby edition the first edition in English with the Johannot illustrations was published in 1840 the same year the French edition with the Johannot illustrations was published in Paris by Ernest Bourdin; subsequent printings of the Willoughby edition were made in 1841 1842 and later apparently into the mid-1860s. The later 1881 Nimmo and Bain edition not illustrated by Johannot followed the 1840 Willoughby text with some minor editorial changes. The work was also translated into English by Joseph Thomas whose text was first published in 1841. Le Sage's novel "imitated in framework and title from DIABLO COJUELO of Guevara 1641" Asmodee the "diable boiteux" is "released by Don Cleophas Zambullo from a bottle in which he has be imprisoned by an astrologer. To divert his benefactor Asmodee lifts the roofs off the houses of Madrid and shows him what is passing within. This provides the author with an opportunity for a satirical picture of the Parisian society of the day in all its perversity." - Harvery and Heseltine eds The Oxford Companion to French Literature p. 201. "Light entertaining material that has served as the ultimate model for many diabolic tours for purposes of satire and amusement." - Bleiler The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 1009. "Less a novel than a sequence of highly entertaining satirical episodes ASMODEUS became the model for numerous narratives in which a demon gives a human being a magical tour of contemporary life and vice." - Barron ed Fantasy Literature 1-45. Tony Johannot 1803-1852 "was the foremost illustrator of the 1840's in France following the romantic tradition and introducing vignette work into his books" Houfe p. 354. Bleiler 1978 p. 123. Reginald 08942. A bit of sunning to the cloth largely to the spine panel else a fine copy. A pretty copy of this attractive book. #149647 Willoughby and Co. unknown‎
