Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice (1919) is a comic fantasy novel by James Branch Cabell. Set in a world where history and fantasy collide, where a lowly pawnbroker can encounter monsters, gods, and devils, Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice is one of Cabell’s best-known works of fiction. For several years after its initial publication, the novel was the subject of an obscenity trial pursued by the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. In 1923, after winning his case, Cabell made sure to immortalize the event with a revised edition featuring a “lost” chapter where Jurgen is persecuted for his writing by grotesque Philistines. Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice is one work in a series of novels, essays, and poems known as the Biography of the Life of Manuel. “For now had come to Jurgen and the Centaur a gold-haired woman, clothed all in white, and walking alone. She was tall, and lovely and tender to regard: and hers was not the red and white comeliness of many ladies that were famed for beauty, but rather it had the even glow of ivory […] to Jurgen this woman's countenance was in all things perfect. Perhaps this was because he never saw her as she was.” Unsatisfied with life as a lowly pawnbroker, Jurgen follows his heart in pursuit of ideal love. A proponent of medieval chivalry, he encounters gods, goddesses, kings, and queens as he passes from one otherworldly realm to the next. On his wondrous journey, he meets some of the most celebrated women in history and literature, including Guinevere, Anaitis, and Helen of Troy. Jurgen, a wily poet and legendary lover with a head full of dreams and desires, is an allegorical figure for modern humanity, a flawed hero whose kaleidoscopic world is not entirely different from our own. Cabell’s work has long been described as escapist, his novels and stories derided as fantastic and obsessive recreations of a world lost long ago. To read Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice, however, is to understand that the issues therein—the struggle for power, the unspoken distance between men and women—were vastly important not only at the time of its publication, but in our own, divisive world. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of James Branch Cabell’s Jurgen, A Comedy of Justice is a classic of fantasy and romance reimagined for modern readers.
TO BURTON RASCOE Before each tarradiddle, Uncowed by sciolists, Robuster persons twiddle Tremendously big fists. "Our gods are good," they tell us; "Nor will our gods defer Remission of rude fellows' Ability to err." So this, your JURGEN, travels Content to compromise Ordainments none unravels Explicitly ... and sighs. "Others, with better moderation, do either entertain the vulgar history of Jurgen as a fabulous addition unto the true and authentic story of St. Iurgenius of Poictesme, or else we conceive the literal acception to be a misconstruction of the symbolical expression: apprehending a veritable history, in an emblem or piece of Christian poesy. And this emblematical construction hath been received by men not forward to extenuate the acts of saints.

Heinz Strunk erzählt von Männern und Frauen und von dem, was zwischen ihnen nicht passiert. Komisch. Unerbittlich. Jürgen Dose lebt in Harburg. Er hat es auch sonst nicht immer leicht gehabt im Leben; sein Job im Parkhaus verlangt ihm viel ab, und damit fängt es erst an. Trotzdem ist für Jürgen das Glas immer halbvoll, er glaubt daran, dass wer wagt, gewinnt und er es im Leben eigentlich ganz gut getroffen hat. Um es mal deutlich zu sagen: Jürgen ist ein ganz armer Willi, nur weiß er das nicht. Das liegt unter anderem daran, dass er, abgesehen von seiner bettlägrigen Mutter und Schwester Petra vom Pflegedienst, regelmäßigen Kontakt nur zu seinem alten Freund Bernd Würmer pflegt, der im Rollstuhl sitzt und sich ununterbrochen mit ihm zankt. Beide müssen so einiges im Leben entbehren, am schmerzlichsten die Liebe einer Frau. Und da das ja kein Zustand ist, beschließen sie, was zu tun. Verheerende Erfahrungen beim Speed-Dating und mit der Lektüre von Fachwerken zum Thema Frauenaufreißen entmutigen die beiden Kavaliere nicht. Da muss man eben den Einsatz erhöhen! Eine Reise nach Polen mit der Firma "Eurolove" kostet allerdings ganz schön. Aber heiratswütig sind die da! Schönheitskönige wollen die auch nicht. So sitzen Jürgen und Bernie bald im Bus nach Breslau, zusammen mit anderen Liebessuchern. Ob das wohl gut geht?
