Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice is a novel written by James Branch Cabell and published in 1919. The story follows the adventures of Jurgen, a middle-aged poet who lives in the mythical land of Poictesme. Jurgen is unhappy with his life and decides to embark on a journey to find true love and happiness. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters, including the devil, who tries to tempt him into sinning, and various women who he falls in love with. The novel is a satirical take on traditional romance stories and pokes fun at the conventions of the genre. It also explores themes of morality, religion, and the nature of reality. Cabell's writing style is often described as witty and whimsical, with a focus on wordplay and clever dialogue. Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice was controversial when it was first published due to its sexual content and irreverent treatment of religion. However, it has since become a classic of fantasy literature and is considered one of Cabell's most important works.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1919 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
