Summary: "Satan and the Comrades" by Ralph Bennitt is a satirical fantasy story written in the mid-20th century. The book explores themes of power, politics, and human folly through the lens of Hell's inhabitants as they plot against humanity and each other. It presents a humorous yet critical reflection on the nature of evil and the absurdities of life, drawing on the character of Lucifer, who seeks to modernize Hell and regain his influence. The narrative follows Nick, or Satan, who returns to Hell after a brief stint on Earth, intent on improving the underworld to annoy God and implore his way back into Heaven. He discovers a plot by the new regime under Andrei Broncov, who is attempting to overthrow Satan’s authority with the help of Communist comrades who have made their way to Hell. Utilizing a clever blend of deception and humor, Nick devises a plan that involves impersonation and chaos, ultimately leading to dramatic upheaval in the Soviet leadership, revealing the folly and corruption inherent in power structures. Nick's antics serve to highlight the absurdities of both mortal and immortal affairs, ending with a comedic twist that underscores the cyclical nature of power struggles.
