According to legend, after murdering the father of a woman he attempted to seduce, the evil Don Juan is dragged by demons down to hell. But what happens next? Set in the Spanish countryside, and featuring a diverse cast of peasants, aristocrats and vengeful ghosts, this novel was Sylvia Townsend Warner's response to the Spanish Civil War, which she had witnessed at first-hand as an ambulance driver. As funny as it is moving, it ultimately serves as a unique meditation on the tensions at the heart of fascism.
