The Gentleman

A delightful and humorous debut novel, the story follows acclaimed Victorian poet Lionel Savage as he navigates a series of comedic misadventures after accidentally summoning the devil and discovering he may have sold his wife to him. With an eclectic group of allies—including a swashbuckling Buddhist and an inventive friend—Lionel embarks on a daring rescue mission into the depths of hell. Filled with witty footnotes, slapstick humor, and lively action, this book offers a playful blend of fantasy and comedy reminiscent of classic farces.
