Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice is a fantasy book by James Branch Cabell, which gained fame (or notoriety) shortly after its publication in 1919. It is a humorous romp through a medieval cosmos, including a send-up of Arthurian legend, and excursions to Heaven and Hell as in The Divine Comedy. Cabell's work is recognized as a landmark in the creation of the comic fantasy novel, influencing Terry Pratchett and many others. - Summary by Wikipedia (10 hr 6 min)

'Thus it was in the old days'

(3,5 Sterne)

Ancient and medieval quest as sex comedy. Good reading.

Well worth a listen

(5 Sterne)

Don't go by the brief description or previous reviews. Read the whole story of the book 0n Wikipedia. It explains the story and the forward. It's not a sex romp through history. It's the tale of a man given his youth again for one year to find true romantic love after bemoaning his relationship with his wife. A knowledge of the places he visits will add to the fun. Any aspects of sex are dealt with by double entendre. It is clever, funny and educational. I advise reading the forward which was written after the attempt to ban it. The reader is excellent and highlights the irony, satire and cynicism. I shall give it another listen.
