(Dans ce conte qui vaut à son auteur d'être considéré comm...)
Dans ce conte qui vaut à son auteur d'être considéré comme l'un des pères de la littérature fantastique, Jacques Cazotte raconte l'histoire d'Alvare, un jeune Espagnol pris de passion pour les sciences occultes qui invoque Belzébuth dans l'obscurité d'une grotte archaïque. C'est ainsi qu'il rencontre Biondetta, une jeune femme séduisante qui prétend être une sylphide, mais qui s'avère en réalité être le Diable. Alvare arrivera-t-il à faire le choix entre le Bien et le Mal ? Ce texte, au delà de ses qualités littéraires indéniables, met habilement en scène le côté paradoxal du désir et se prête à de multiples interprétations. C'est aussi un texte incontournable pour les amateurs de littérature fantastique.

Born in Dijon, he was educated by the Jesuits.
Cazotte then worked for the French Ministry of the Marine and at the age of 27 he obtained a public office at Martinique. lieutenant was not till his return to Paris in 1760 with the rank of commissioner-general that he made his public debut as an author His first attempts, a mock romance and a coarse song, gained so much popularity, both in the Court and among the people, that he was encouraged to try something more ambitious.
He accordingly produced his romance, Les Prouesses inimitables d"Ollivier, marquis d"Edesse.
His first success was with a "poem" in twelve cantos, and in prose intermixed with verse, entitled Ollivier (2 vols, 1762), followed in 1771 by another romance, the Lord Impromptu. The value of the story lies in the picturesque setting, and the skill with which its details are carried out.
With the help of the Syrian priest Dom Denis Chavis, he translated some Arabian legends into French for the fairy tale anthology Le Cabinet des fées (1788–1790). Cazotte possessed extreme facility and is said to have dashed off a seventh canto of Voltaire"s Guerre civile de Genève in a single night.
About 1775 Cazotte embraced the views of the Illuminati, declaring himself possessed of the power of prophecy.
lieutenant was upon this event that Jean-François de la Harpe based his famous jeu d"esprit, in which he represents Cazotte as prophesying the most minute events of the French Revolution. A complete edition of his work was published as the Œuvres badines et morales, historiques et philosophiques de Jacques Cazotte (4 vols, 1816–1817), though more than one collection appeared during his lifetime. Cazotte"s work was an influence on later fantasy writers such as East. T. A. Hoffmann, Charles Nodier, Gérard de Nerval and Théophile Gautier.
