Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice is a 1919 fantasy book by James Branch Cabell.
The eponymous hero, who considers himself a "monstrous clever fellow", embarks on a journey through ever more fantastic realms, even to hell and heaven. Everywhere he goes, he winds up seducing the local women, even the Devil's wife.
The book was forbidden for a couple of years because "the author had committed the heinous crime of treating sex as a joke and chronicling the adventures and gallantries of his quite non-moral hero."
