Two vibrant tales of sex, religion and the philosophy of freedom.
Together these two novels comprise one of the most fascinating,
obsessive and erotic works of contemporary' fiction. Both feature
Octave, an elderly scholar, his striking young wife and their
nephew, Antoine. In Roberte Ce Soir, the heroine, at the
instigation of her husband, engages in a ritual of hospitality in
which she offers herself to any guest who shows desire for her. In
The Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, she sets herself the task of
exploring the world of sexual perversion. The ultimate goal of her
scandalous yet farcical quest is the achievement of complete
freedom.
