"Le diable boiteux, tome I" by Alain René Le Sage is a novel published in 1707. A student escapes a romantic trap and finds refuge in a magician's attic, where he frees a demon named Asmodée from captivity. The grateful demon repays him by taking him across Madrid's rooftops on an October night, revealing the hidden secrets and scandals unfolding inside every household below. Through rapid portraits and adventures, the work offers a satirical glimpse into human nature, hypocrisy, and the private vices concealed behind closed doors.
