The usual suspects are here as well as the unexpected. Niccolo Machiavelli~the famed author of that most diabolical political treatise, The Prince~is here with "Belphagor," his only work of fiction. That master of the macabre, Edgar Allan Poe, contributes "Bon~Bon" and Washington Irving, the author of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," is here with "The Devil and Tom Walker," another timeless tale of Gothic Americana. J. Sheridan Le Fanu, the Victorian era's greatest writer of the supernatural and the author of "Carmilla," is represented by "Sir Dominick's Bargain," a masterful retelling of an old Irish legend. The Russian short story writer Nikolai Vasilevich Gogol is here with "St. John's Eve," a classic tale of peasant~folk bedevilment. Among the unexpected are offerings by the great English authors Charles Dickens~"The Devil and Mr. Chips"~and William Makepeace Thackeray~"The Painter's Bargain" ~who are better known for their realistic novels. This volume concludes with a story by Stephen Vincent Benet, "The Devil and Daniel Webster" a modern masterpiece of infernal soul~selling that proves Satan is alive and well in the literature of the twentieth century. Whether one believes in the Devil or not, Devilish Doings is a fun collection that will delight anyone with a yen for tales of wonder and bedevilment.…

hardcover. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…
