El Diablo Cojuelo is a picaresque novel by the Spanish writer Luis Vélez de Guevara, published in 1641. The work narrates the adventures of a student named Cleofás who, after freeing the devil Cojuelo from a bottle, travels with him through Madrid, observing the life and customs of the society of the time through the roofs. The novel offers a satirical and critical view of 17th-century Spanish society, with characters and situations full of humor and mischief.
Luis Vélez de Guevara was a Spanish dramatist and novelist. He was born at Écija and was of Jewish converso descent. After graduating as a sizar at the University of Osuna in 1596, he joined the household of Rodrigo de Castro, Cardinal-Archbishop of Seville, and celebrated the marriage of Philip III in a poem signed Vélez de Santander, a name which he continued to use until some years later.
