Set in a fantastical realm where a pawnbroker encounters gods and monsters, this comic fantasy novel critiques societal taboos and censorship through the story of Philistia, a land obsessed with moral persecution. Following the obscenity trial of Cabell's earlier work, Jurgen, the narrative reflects on the cultural climate that stifles artistic expression. With a medieval style, it explores themes of power and gender dynamics, making it relevant both in its time and today. This edition presents Cabell's bold and satirical vision for contemporary readers.
