Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Art of Taking a Wife
We row upon the tranquil waters Of matrimony, and yet glide so near to the shores of venal love that we can grasp the ?owers and gather the shells and precious pearls which lie there. We sail with the wind over the more tempestuous sea of seduction, but all the while we coast the island of poetic, faithful, and constant love; thus, vice, adultery, and domestic peace, debauchery and eternal vows, angels and beasts, find themselves guests at the same table, without false modesty, and without remorse.
Civilisation has Opened three ways Of loving to men Of the present day.
