Summary: "La Panhypocrisiade, ou le spectacle infernal du seizième siècle" by NéPomucène L. Lemercier is an epic comedy written in the early 19th century. The book satirizes the hypocrisy and vices of humanity, taking place in a fantastical version of Hell where demons enjoy theatrical performances that reflect the moral failings of historical figures, particularly during the 16th century. This rich tapestry of themes is embodied through various characters, including famous personalities from history and literature like Copernicus and Charles V. At the start of the epic, the poet introduces the concept of a grand celebration held by demons in Hell while their tortures are temporarily suspended. The stage is set with vibrant descriptions of the infernal locale, where various supernatural elements mingle with reflections on human nature and history. The narrative includes a prologue featuring Copernicus discussing the Earth's motion, as well as dialogues between personifications of Time and Space, culminating in the presentation of a play depicting poignant events from the life of Charles V. These elements weave together a critique of societal norms and the transient nature of fame and power, creating an intricate commentary on the human condition through a blend of humor, tragedy, and philosophical musings.
