This most joyous of de Sade’s works follows three aristocrats as they indoctrinate Eugénie de Mistival in "the principles of the most outrageous libertinism."

Francine du Plessix Gray is a contributor to the New Yorker and the author of numerous works, including Them.

Joachim Neugroschel has won three PEN translation awards and the French-American translation prize.

Tomer Hanuka is the creator, with twin brother Asaf, of the comics series Bipolar and is a founding member of Meathaus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh, but there's so much more!, May 1, 2007
I thought Incest was really well written (much like Lolita, where the content is filthy but you can't help but fall in love with the writer for how gifted he is with language), so I checked this one out next. Initially, Philosophy in the Boudoir came off as porn for the thinking man and nothing more - and really, everything has its place - but about halfway into the book there appeared some interesting philosophy that really completes some of what the Marquis got into with Incest. He further develops arguments on morality here, and if you're a Camus fan, a good deal of these arguments are actually pretty compatible with Camus, too. If you can get past (or enjoy?) all the anal sex bits, this is actually some pretty smart philosophy with what appears to be Marquis de Sade's characters debating either side of his own arguments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Anally Penetrating Virgins for Dummies!, February 5, 2007
By Captain Scientist (An Island I Invented) - See all my reviews
This is the ultimate how-to guide. Instead of learning how to nail stupid boards together or talk like a foreign-man, this will teach you the delicious art of taking a young woman and filling her tight holes like they belonged to a thanksgiving turkey on thanksgiving. Pregnancy an issue? Throw it in the back! There is less disease that way, anyway. Worried about your lover's pleasure? Be like Dolmance and ignore their twaddling neediness in favor of your own robust genitals and put those genitals in whomever you please. The morals of your era are only there for God to harvest all the unhappiness and pent-up semen of the world, in order to build his towering masterwork, Queen Victoria II. None of this even mentions the cover! This book has apparently been around for years, but none of those editions had illustrations of naked ladies being debauched so completely! It makes me proud to read it in public. I highly recommend this book, not only to young virgins, but anyone who knows a young virgin, or is looking to. Chris Hansen, eat your heart out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it if you love sex, April 15, 2009
By Ana Tikaradze (Tbilisi, Georgia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you want to break the borders of your fantasies... if you want to hear the richest description of the sex and the pleasure it brings... if you are ready for something which might feel immoral... if you consider sex as an art... if you love sex... read it... feel it... do not judge...
And if you want something similar but modern search for Michel Houellebecq...
