| Summary | "Satan's Diary" by Leonid Andreyev is a satirical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows Satan, who has taken on the human guise of a wealthy American billionaire named Henry Wondergood, as he embarks on a journey through Europe in search of amusement and adventure. Through this unique lens, the book explores themes of disillusionment, the hypocrisies of humanity, and the often absurd nature of human morals and interactions. At the start of the narrative, Satan reflects on his newfound existence and the loneliness it brings him. Confined to expressing his complex thoughts through the limitations of human language, he grapples with the intricacies of life on Earth alongside his servant, Irwin Toppi. As he contemplates his motives for coming to Earth, Satan expresses a desire to play, showcasing both his amusement and disdain for humanity's follies. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the interactions between good and evil, as well as the paradoxes of existence, particularly as Satan encounters various characters and situations that challenge his understanding of human nature.
