Philosophy In The Boudoir
(Marquis de Sade)
Madame de Saint-Ange is anything but saintly. She is beautiful
respected woman of high society, in public, and a self indulgent
depraved libertine in private. In her twelve years of marriage she has
had over twelve thousand lovers with her claim to fame being the
twenty-four hour period in which she had intercourse "from front to
back," over ninety times. Her only goal is to participate in
debaucherous acts that will result in most pleasure possible.
The Madame has a plan to exploit a beautiful virgin maiden with the end
result being the childs indoctrination into the world of
libertinage. She is joined in her efforts by Dolmance a
misogynistic sodomite who is utterly repelled by women, and
Madame de Saint-Ange''s younger brother "the Chevalier," with whom she
regularly fornicates.
Young Eugenie''s "lessons," are composed of a lecture on philosophy,
courtesy of Dolmance followed by visual example. Dolmance breaks from
his preference of men only, in order to illustrate with Madame de
Saint-Ange the principles of his teachings. Early on the student
displays an ardent desire to learn about libertinage, and before long
is activiely participating. Eugenie is subsequently sodomized by
Dolmance, deflowered by Chevalier and transformed into a creature even
more depraved than her teachers.
This pornographic novel is very representative of activites that the
author himself actively participated in and that landed him in prison
first at Vincennes and then at the Bastille in 1777. Sade published philosophy in the Budoir along with most of his work under strict anonymity. His most famous novel would likely be Justine, for which he was locked up in an insane asylum where he died at age seventy-four.
