Lionel Baillemont

After ten years of marriage, a woman decides to tell her husband about her libertine past. A cascade of revelations follows, all as unexpected as they are funny.

Under the reign of Louis XV, a French aristocrat, fleeing the lawsuit that had just been brought to him in Marseille for dissolute morals, took refuge in Venice accompanied by his mistress, his wife's own sister, whom he passed off as his legitimate wife. . Frequenting assiduously the Salons de la Cité instead of displaying a discretion more in keeping with his situation, he quickly finds himself confronted with the reproaches of his mistress and the investigations of the Venetian spies.

Fascinated as much as terrified, a woman takes refuge in the privacy of her room to secretly read "Discourse against God" by the Marquis de Sade, which she has stolen from her husband's library. The first lines she reads make her aware of the incredibly sulphurous and anticlerical aspect of this book, because in the 18th century, the refusal of God can only be brutal and protestant, a language without limits destined to break up all the prisons of men.
