"The Generous Gamester." Charles Baudelaire.


Review: A most pleasant encounter with the Devil in which the narrator loses his soul when gambling with the Devil, but is guaranteed by the Devil to a life of pleasure and ease. Still, he goes to bed and prays to God that the Devil keeps his word.

Great French Short Stories. Ed. Germaine Brée. New York: Del Publishing Co., Inc. 1969.
