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."

WINNER OF THE 2017 SCOTT MONCRIEFF PRIZE A new translation of
Sade's most notorious, shocking and influential novel. This
disturbing but hugely important text has influenced countless
individuals throughout history: Flaubert and Baudelaire both read
Sade; the surrealists were obsessed with him; film-makers like
Pasolini saw parallels with twentieth-century history in his
writings; and feminists such as Andrea Dworkin and Angela Carter
clashed over him. This new translation brings Sade's provocative
novel into Penguin Classics for the first time, and will reignite
the debate around this most controversial of writers.

'Philosophy in the Boudoir' is the most concise, representative
text of all the Marquis de Sade's works, containing his notorious
doctrine of libertinage expounded in full, coupled with liberal
doses of savage, unbridled eroticism, cruelty and violent
sexuality.

When the immoral libertine Monsieur de Franval marries and fathers
a daughter, he decides to inculcate in her a sense of absolute
freedom, an unconventional education that involves the two becoming
secret lovers. But Franval's virtuous, God-fearing wife becomes
suspicious and confronts him, setting off a tragic chain of events.
Part of Sade's The Crimes of Love cycle, this shocking tale - which
was among the writings banned for publication until the twentieth
century - tests the limits of morality and portrays the disastrous
consequences of freedom and pleasure.
The great central act of Christian worship is the Mass, a Sacrifice
which can be offered to God alone, and the climax of the sabbat
orgies is the horror of the black mass, a sacrifice of mockery,
impiety, and blasphemy which is offered to the Devil. Satanists
today often meet with the celebration of the black mass as their
main object, and it is indeed the culmination and to use a term of
the schools the very quiddity of devil-worship and the cult of
hell. In detail the black mass imitates, so to speak and foully
parodies with every circumstance of crapulous obscenity and
contempt the Sacrifice of Calvary. The black mass today is
sometimes celebrated in a cellar, but Satanists have become so
audacious and so strong in evil that the largest room in their
houses is known to be permanently fitted up for these abominable
mysteries. In one case the room is draped with black hangings and
the windows are always shuttered with curtains drawn.
The Marquis de Sade was a French aristocrat, revolutionary, and
writer of philosophy-laden, and often, violent pornography. He was
a philosopher of extreme freedom, unrestrained by morality,
religion or law, with the pursuit of personal pleasure being the
highest principle. There is perhaps no more infamous figure in all
of literature. Collected here in this omnibus edition are three of
his most important works Justine, The 120 Days of Sodom, and
Florville and Courval. These are erotic literary classics.
El Marques de Sade (1740-1814), aristocrata con buena formacion
clasica, inicio a temprana edad una larga carrera de desafueros que
le depararon dilatadas estancias en prision, donde escribio la
mayor parte de su obra. Convertida durante decadas en caso para la
patologia sexual, saludada por los surrealistas y rescatada
definitivamente por la critica moderna, el lector de hoy se
encuentra ante una obra inserta en las tradiciones de su epoca,
exasperada y moralizante, pero con una construccion rigurosa y
claros valores literarios.
The secret journal of the Marquis de Sade takes readers beyond the
prisoner who once fled the Vincennes fortress, and the prisoner of
the Bastille whose imagination tortured him, both deliciously and
cruelly.
