The She Devils [Old Edition]

by Pierre Louÿs

If it was Pierre Lou?s' intention to emulate the libertine works of the Marquis De Sade with this unbelievably salacious tale then he certainly succeeded. Following the exploits of our young narrator... This description may be from another edition of this product.

Customer Reviews

Like a moth to the flame

will you be drawn to this book, even while being disgusted by the many acts of depravity contained therein. Louys is about the most erotic writer going (I read the book in French, and the title of this version is a little silly, but the translation is not bad).

A saucy fantasy, not real filth!

Another reviewer claims this book is vile filth. In fact, it's a saucy fantasy with some exquisite imagery and a lot of jolly inventive romps; closer to Benny Hill than to De Sade. Any keen aficionado of erotica will enjoy the scene in which Mummy takes the narrator's dickie up her bum and her youngest daughter's slim hand enters her vaginally and provides exquisite pleasure to the lucky chap!A dilgent search will yield an illustrated edition published in continental Europe some years ago. Oh, what delight and what a superb illustrator, too.

An excellent little piece of erotica

Short but very sweet, The She-Devils is a deliciously evil little book. About a man renting a room across the hall from a woman and her daughters, who slowly (and easily?) seduce him and each other. First he encounters each of them on thier own, before finally succumbing to their whim in one big orgy of delight. The author has created some interesting characters, the youngest daughter in particular! Role models these girls ain't. After finishing the book, like the Master himself De Sade achieves, your left wondering wether all of the story was truly "fiction"

She-Devil's Advocate

While a few of the later chapters tended to drone at times and some of the mainstream ideals of feminine beauty have since changed somewhat, the bulk of the book is simply, for lack of a better word, astounding! I've come across few-if any-works that leaves one's heart racing in disgust, arousal, and incredulity at the same time. Written and set in an atmosphere(Paris in the early 1900's) where anything like what is said or done in the book was much more likely to have occured, Louys delves into debauchery and manias with an imagination(or recollection,who knows) that few can or are brave enough to match. Well translated, the images it evokes will shock and haunt you for a long time. Definately recommended for all but the young, the uptight, or the faint of heart! Enjoy...and brace yourself!

Unbelievable

I first read this book as "Trois Filles" a translation from the French which blew my mind. No where is the level of depravity and typical male wish fulfillment given more gratification outside of DeSade. A must read for the true Epicurean.
