The Devil

Papini's work was one of the greatest manifestations of Italian literary life since the beginning of the 20th century. A work full of sincerity and violence, it reflects the ideological positions and deep spiritual concern of the author. The Devil, according to its creator, is the first book written about the Devil by a Christian, according to the deepest sense of Christianity. The writer's purpose, guided by a feeling of charity and mercy, is to study, freed from prejudices and prejudices, among others, the following problems: the real causes of the Lucifer rebellion, the true relationships between God and the Devil, and the possibility of the attempt by men to return Satan to his first state.
