Le diable amoureux by Jacques Cazotte
"Le diable amoureux" by Jacques Cazotte is an occult romance published in 1772. When young Spanish nobleman Don Alvaro invokes Satan, the devil falls in love with him and disguises himself as a beautiful woman named Biondetta. As Biondetta attempts to seduce the virtuous Alvaro throughout their journey together, the line between reality and illusion blurs. This pioneering work established the *fantastique* literary style, leaving readers uncertain whether supernatural events truly occurred
or existed only in the character's imagination. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
