Structured as a dialogue set in a private boudoir, the story follows the young and naive Eugénie, who undergoes a sexual and ideological initiation guided by libertine mentors, notably Madame de Saint-Ange and Dolmancé. The text serves as a radical critique of traditional morality, religion, and social conventions of the time, advocating absolute freedom and individual pleasure. Sade's work deliberately shocks through graphic descriptions and libertine philosophies, making it one of his most controversial yet influential texts.. Very Good+ with no dust jacket .
