Description

In a realm where myth and everyday life intertwine, a mischievous spirit of the infernal world finds himself unexpectedly drawn to a mortal woman of gentle spirit and bright wit. The narrative follows his clumsy attempts to win her affection, crafting a series of enchanted encounters that blend supernatural intrigue with the polished humor of 18ʹth‑century French salons. As the devil navigates the customs of human courtship, his otherworldly powers become both a boon and a source of comic mishaps.

The story unfolds with a light, almost fable‑like tone, punctuated by vivid illustrations that bring each fantastical episode to life. It celebrates the charm of oriental tales while probing the boundaries between desire, morality, and the absurdity of love across realms. Listeners will be carried along a graceful, whimsical journey that feels both timeless and delightfully rooted in its historical imagination.
