Synopsis

Satan's Diary

By Leonid Andreyev

Narrated by John Burlinson.

Satan's Diary, Andreyev’s last work, was completed a few days before he died in Finland in September, 1919.

Within a short time Prince of Hell finds himself outwitted, deceived, relieved of his millions, mocked and humiliated, beaten by man by the use of his own devilish devices.
