«Belfagor» is the satirical short novel by Niccolò Machiavelli, published by Guerra Edizioni in paperback (80 pages, in Italian).
The archdemon Belfagor is sent to Earth to find out whether marriage is a blessing or a torment; his experience with a wife gives rise to a satire on misogyny. The work, also known as «El diablo que toma esposa», is a brief narrative by Machiavelli combining humour and social criticism.
It is part of the «Letture graduate per stranieri» collection at its «E elementare» level, edited by M. A. Covino Bisaccia and M. R. Francomacaro. Published in 2000.
For elementary-level students of Italian who wish to approach Italian literature through a short, guided reading.
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli was a Florentine diplomat, author, philosopher, and historian who lived during the Italian Renaissance. He is best known for his political treatise The Prince, written around 1513 but not published until 1532, five years after his death. He has often been called the father of modern political philosophy and political science.
