Cabell, James Branch: Jurgen V1. 11-April 2010
This book has been uploaded in most formats but not yet in epub.
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." |

Got it from Gutenberg and they have it from "McCain Library, Agnes Scott College" but don't specify an edition.

That's the second version, (1922). The first was 1919, the third was 1926 (Kalki edition) and the last was 1929 (Storiesende Edition).
