Ce gros récit écrit entre 1715 et 1735 demeure un modèle du roman picaresque (technique espagnole où le personnage doit traverser divers milieux sociaux) français et fut très fertile en descendants qui lui empruntèrent la manière et la structure. Donc, cascades d'épisodes, rebondissements et retournements, rythme rapide que le ##western## devait reprendre à son compte tant en littérature qu'au cinéma. En somme, un classique alerte et bien portant dans une édition conforme avec chronologie, introduction, glossaire et notes

"After Zambullo releases Asmodeus from a bottle, the two embark on a flight above the rooftops of Madrid. Peeking into houses, prisons, palaces, and even tombs, Zambullo witnesses one incident of treachery and self-delusion after another. Smollett's superior wit and sense of irony suited him as well as translator for this novel, with its juxtaposition of realism with romance, satire with sentiment, and sexual intrigue with moral admonition."
