Twenty four irresistibly tempting tales of sinful reading pleasure
Talk of the Devil-the old saying goes-and he is sure to appear
Indeed, here for your entertainment is Lucifer, Satan, Beelzebub,
Old Nick, the Lord of the Flies, these are but five of the many
names and titles that mankind has bestowed upon the Devil, the
Prince of Evil, the dark figure who stands farthest away from the
shining moral example of Godhead. Predictably, such a powerful
figure, deeply embedded in the psyche of many cultures, has had an
abiding fascination for writers since the earliest days of the
written word and, inevitably, he has also become an essential
component of folk tales in many countries. It is well noted that
the characteristics of a hero are the same the world over, but if
you need a really interesting personality then the villain can
deliver satisfaction every time This Leonaur book is a unique and
special collection of classic short stories featuring the Devil
himself, by a dazzling array of renowned exponents of penmanship
including Irving, Gogol, Thackeray, Poe, Baudelaire, Hawthorne and
many others. At its heart is a previously published collection
entitled 'Devil Stories' edited by Maximilian Rudwin. However, this
Leonaur edition benefits from the addition of five more tales of
dark temptation and dastardly deeds for your enjoyment. Available
in soft cover and hardcover with dust jacket.
