Justine was the Marquis de Sade's first novella, written in
1787, whilst imprisoned for two weeks in the Bastille. Although
published anonymously, de Sade was eventually indicted for
blasphemy and obscenity (without trial) for the authorship of
Justine at the behest of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Who suffers in the pursuit of desire?
The Countess de Lorsange reveals her history, in a tavern, to a
young woman named Therese; where a young girl and her sister fight
a battle of morality. Set in a period before the French Revolution,
Justine shows the battle of virtue versus vice, where earning your
keep takes on fresh connotations, and a titled lady holds a
lifetime of illicit secrets."
