| Summary | "Le diable peint par lui-même" by J.-A.-S. Collin de Plancy is a collection of whimsical tales and anecdotes written in the early 19th century. The book presents a fictional interview with the Devil, exploring his character beyond the usual depictions of malevolence, promising a blend of humor and philosophical reflection. Central to the narrative is the Devil himself, who discusses his misunderstood nature and interacts with the author to share stories that challenge the common beliefs about demons. The opening of this work introduces the concept of the Devil as a character with depth, engaging in a personal dialogue with the author. The narrative begins with a dedication to the author's wife and an introduction, where the Devil expresses his lament over his bad reputation and the misconceptions surrounding his character. He argues that not all tales about him are true and pleads for a fair representation, thus setting the stage for a reflective and possibly sympathetic portrayal. The text hints at various historical and theological perspectives on demons, leading to an exploration of their roles in both folklore and human experience.
