Synopsis
An erotic masterpiece and perhaps the most representative of the Marquis de Sade's work, Philosophy in the Boudoir tells of a young virgin, ruthlessly schooled in the ways of sexual perversion. This edition is coupled with The Lusts of the Libertines, a document cataloguing 447 of the wildest atrocities conceived by de Sade's depraved imagination.

a shoddy cash-in

Although this translation doesn't have the annoying archaisms ('twas, thou art, 'tis etc) of the Wainhouse/Seaver translations, this one is faithful to the tradition of dodgy 1960's Sade translations that omit the philosophical discussions that distinguish Sade's texts from any other sort of pornography. Almost unbelievably, the mock-serious philosophical pamphlet included with Sade's Philosophy in the Bedroom- easily the most interesting part of the work, is missing- because "Meredith X" (the translator) has decided that it disrupts the 'continuity and flow' of the text. In the body of the translation itself there are in fact words and phrases absent from the French.(ie 'Crimson! F...ing Goat of Satan! etc) And at the end of the book there is a section transplanted from the 120 Days of Sodom- more or less a catalogue of tortures and degradations. An appalling cash-in.

An eye-opening experience, at least

Philosophy of the Boudoir is an interesting look at what (possibly) happens behind closed doors. Sade's to-the-point descriptions leave little to the imagination aside from what could possibly occur next. But on a much deeper level, this novel borders that oh-so-fine line between pornography and art; the language, scenes and descriptions are extremely liberal and could be viewed as offensive to many. But the religious (or anti-religious) undertones, the emphasis on the individual and the attention to instruction, precision and detail take Sade's sketchy introductory scenes (with basically little to no plot) into a more developed foundation as the novel progresses. If one can get past the brutal language and over-determination of sexual roles and stereotypes in this book, it would certainly be an eye-opener and a learning experience.
Sade uses repetition to the extremes: Madame, Eugenie and Dolmance are doing the same things over and over again, each time "learning" of the pleasures the exploits can provide and the "tricks of the trade," like how to avoid pregnancy from acts of libertinage, how to keep your actions secret from your husband and what a woman's "duty" in life is. A reader could very easily bore from reading the same action over and over, but one should find it comical that these characters are so into what they're doing that they can never quite realize and achieve this "goal" of ultimate pleasure. The direct language--especially Dolmance's constant "staging" of his lovers--is also comical, because its almost as if these characters were acting out something, wanting their performance to be perfect for an audience, and not for themselves. Again, the "goal" is unrealized. Eugenie is educated in the ways of the libertines, but she is now just one of many who will constantly be in search of that (non-existant) ultimate pleasure.
Again, this book is an eye-opener, not intended for the conservatively-minded. Those with a strong sense of humor will find the repetition and instruction comical, but others will just find it boring and have a hard time finishing the book.
