概要
 The Devil is an Ass by Ben Jonson is a witty theatrical comedy in which a would-be tempter discovers that humanity needs very little help being wicked. Set in seventeenth-century London, the play turns greed, vanity, and social ambition into a lively spectacle of deception and comic misfortune.
Pug, an inexperienced devil, persuades Satan to let him spend a day among mortals. Eager to prove himself, he enters the service of Fabian Fitzdottrel, a foolish country gentleman who refuses to believe that his new servant is truly a demon. Fitzdottrel is, however, delighted to employ someone who asks for no wages.
Pug soon finds himself surrounded by schemers whose ingenuity leaves him struggling to keep up. Promises of wealth, fashionable pretensions, and romantic intrigue draw the characters into an increasingly tangled series of encounters. The aspiring corrupter becomes an easy target in a city where human dishonesty already rivals anything he has learned in Hell.
Through sharp dialogue and exaggerated characters, Jonson explores the eagerness to believe flattering promises and the lengths people will go to gain money or status. The supernatural premise gives his social satire a mischievous twist, exposing folly through the bewildered eyes of an unlikely outsider.
This English-language audiobook invites listeners to discover Jonson’s comic imagination and follow the shifting schemes of a world where the devil may be the least accomplished trickster in the room.
