"El Diablo Cojuelo" by Luis Vélez de Guevara is a satirical novel written during the early 17th century. The story follows the adventures of the main character, Don Cleofás Leandro Pérez Zambullo, who encounters the mischievous and humorous spirit known as the Diablo Cojuelo, a devil figure with a penchant for trickery and amusement. Through their escapades, the narrative delves into the follies and absurdities of society, revealing truths about human nature and the customs of the time. The opening of "El Diablo Cojuelo" introduces us to a night in Madrid, where the protagonist, Don Cleofás, is evading the law after a misunderstanding. Desperately seeking refuge, he leaps onto the roof of a building and inadvertently finds himself in a conversation with the Diablo Cojuelo, who is imprisoned within a magical glass. The Cojuelo, a devil of minor significance but full of mischief, persuades Don Cleofás to release him in exchange for a promise of entertainment. They soon ascend to the highest tower in Madrid, where the Cojuelo reveals the night’s happenings below, allowing Cleofás to witness the peculiar and humorous lives of various characters in the bustling city, setting the stage for their forthcoming exploits.
