Summary "Le Rideau levé; ou l'Éducation de Laure" by Mirabeau is an erotic novel written in the late 18th century. The book revolves around the character of Laure, who is raised in a unique environment where her father plays a significant role in her education, intertwining themes of intimacy and sensuality. As the narrative unfolds, the dynamics between Laure, her father, and a caretaker named Lucette reveal complex relationships and explorations of desire. The opening of the novel sets the stage with a letter from Sophie to the Chevalier d'Olzan, introducing the legacy of love and eroticism that permeates the narrative. Laure's childhood experiences and intimate bond with her father are described as they navigate themes of affection, curiosity, and desire. As Laure grows, her father's unconventional approach to her education leads to a blend of nurturing and eroticism, where boundaries blur, thus framing the exploration of her sensual awakening and the subsequent romantic entanglements. The tone mixes innocence and explicit encounters, presenting a provocative outlook on love and sexuality during a time of prudence and societal constraints.
