1868 Occult Demons 1st/1st Asmodeus in New York Alain-René Lesage Lame Devil NYC



Ferdinand Longchamps 19th-century novel “Asmodeus in New-York,” revives the mythical demon from Alain-René Lesages “The Lame Devil,” (also known as “The Devil upon Two Sticks”) taking readers on an eye-opening journey through New Yorks societal layers. The story follows the authors unexpected encounter with Asmodeus, the mischievous spirit renowned in ancient tales for revealing hidden truths. Asmodeus offers to unveil the secrets of New York, from the opulent mansions of the wealthy to the depths of vice and poverty. Drawing parallels with Lesages original narrative where roofs were lifted in Seville, Longchamp, with Asmodeus as his guide, embarks on an adventure to understand the American metropoliss intricacies. As they traverse the city, the duo provides a vivid portrayal of its inhabitants, bringing to light the universal passions, vices, and virtues found within human nature. This tale challenges the reader to reflect on societys multifaceted nature, emphasizing that regardless of location or era, human emotions and actions remain strikingly similar.
