About this book
In the vibrant intellectual climate of the late 18th century, "L'Anti-Justine; ou, Les Délices de l'amour" by Restif de La Bretonne emerges as a provocative counterpoint to the libertine narratives of the time. This erotic novel boldly champions the ideals of mutual pleasure and emotional connection, contrasting sharply with the harsh depictions found in the works of the Marquis de Sade. Through its exploration of sensuality and the celebration of love, the text invites readers to reconsider the nature of desire and intimacy. Ideal for students, literary enthusiasts, and historians, this work not only enriches the discourse on erotic literature but also serves as a critical reflection on the evolving attitudes toward sexuality in a transformative era.
