About this book

A middle-aged pawnbroker who was once a poet, Jurgen speaks a careless word of praise for the Devil and is rewarded when his nagging wife promptly vanishes. His search for her becomes a leisurely tour through heaven, hell, and half the legends of Europe, where he tastes youth again and courts Guinevere, Helen of Troy, and stranger company besides. Cabell uses the quest to poke at courtly love, religion, and every heroic pose a man can strike, all in prose thick with double meanings. Those double meanings landed the book in a famous obscenity trial that made it notorious and helped seal its reputation. This free PDF and EPUB edition offers his best known comedy in full.
