The story is a satirical exploration of human nature and society, centered on Don Cleophas Leandro Perez Zambullo, a student who unwittingly becomes acquainted with the demon Asmodeus. Asmodeus, known as "The Devil on Two Sticks," uses his powers to reveal the hidden follies and vices of people, providing a humorous and insightful commentary on love, ambition, and morality. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Don Cleophas, who finds himself fleeing from hired assassins in Madrid. In his desperate bid for safety, he stumbles into the lair of an astrologer and encounters the voice of Asmodeus, who reveals that he has been imprisoned in a phial by a magician. Asmodeus persuades Don Cleophas to free him, promising to share his supernatural insights and avenge Don Cleophas’s dishonor at the hands of a woman. The opening sets the stage for a whimsical adventure filled with clever dialogue, the supernatural, and an exploration of the complexities of human relationships.
