Описание и характеристики

Daniel Defoe was an English trader, writer, pamphleteer and journalist. He is most famous for his novel "Robinson Crusoe", which is second only to the Bible in its number of translations. Irreverent and ironic, The Political History of the Devil is a satire that examines the evolution of evil and the rise of the historical force known as "the devil." An overview of satanic influences on eighteenth-century life follows, focusing on monarchs and tyrants as well as common folk. Defoe supports his arguments not only with extensive quotes from scripture but also with citations from other sources, including Milton's "Paradise Lost."

The Political History of the Devil
Дефо размышляет в этой книге о природе зла и дьявола, при это дьявола у него предстаёт как мистическая фигура, плетущая хитрые интриги и устраивающая замысловатые ловушки для людей. В описании его самого, его обиталища и характера мотивов дьявола, Дефо опирается в равной мере на собственную логику и священные писания, также много обсуждая работу Мильтона. Отношение к ведьмам у Дефо негативное, хотя нельзя сказать, чтобы это было связано исключительно с его антипатией к женскому полу.
