| Summary |
"Hic et Hec" by Honoré-Gabriel de Riqueti Mirabeau is an erotic novel written in the late 18th century. The work delves into themes of sexual exploration and desire, showcasing the interactions and relationships of its characters in a provocative manner. The narrative introduces us to a young protagonist, an abbé, whose experiences of pleasure and education unfold in a complex interplay with various characters, particularly women. The opening portion of the novel sets the stage for the abbé's life, starting from his childhood, where he reflects on the influences that shaped his understanding of love and sexuality. He recounts encounters with his male teachers, which play a significant role in his sexual awakening, leading to his eventual liaison with the beautiful Madam Valbouillant and her young charge, Babet. As the abbé navigates these relationships, the narrative develops into a blend of sensual escapades and comedic situations, illustrating the extravagant and multifaceted nature of eroticism in 18th-century France. The beginning establishes both the tone of wanton curiosity and the historical context that informs the characters' desires and actions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
