About the book

Claude Crébillon's The Sofa is an eighteenth-century satirical tale narrated through an unusual supernatural device. A man is condemned to live as a series of sofas and observes the private romantic behaviour of the people around him. The work uses wit, erotic suggestion and social satire to expose hypocrisy and fashionable morality.
