Marquis De Sade

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. The 120 Days of Sodom is an unfinished novel written in 1785 and published in 1904 after its manuscript was rediscovered. Described as both pornographic] and erotic, its plot revolves around the activities of four wealthy, male libertines who, in the four months of one winter, attempt to seek out the ultimate sexual gratification through orgies, sealing themselves away in an inaccessible castle in the heart of the Black Forest in Germany with a harem of thirty-six victims, mostly male and female teenagers. 5] During this, they engage four female brothel keepers to tell the stories of their lives and adventures; the crimes and tortures in the women's narratives inspire the libertines to similarly abuse and torture their victims, which gradually intensifies, increases in violence, and ends in their slaughter.

Les Crimes de l'Amour est une oeuvre crite par Le Marquis de Sade. On parle des d lices de l'amour. Sade choisit d'en voquer les crimes. L'amour devenu passion br le tout ce qui n'est pas lui. La passion de Sade, dans ces nouvelles, est une passion incestueuse. M. de Franval aime, la folie, sa fille Eug nie. La malheureuse Florville, apr s avoir t s duite par son fr re, sera aim e de son propre fils et pous e par son p re. L'inceste, c'est l'amour absolu, l'amant se double d'un p re. L'inceste est aussi la contestation absolue. Le marquis de Sade est un r volutionnaire qui renie l'ordre social et religieux du XVIIIe si cle. L'inceste, enfin, est le repli supr me sur sa propre famille et sur soi-m me. Le style de ces nouvelles est admirable. L'action en est mouvement e, sanglante. Le clair-obscur de chaque tre, Sade, l'a mis nu avec g nie.

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.

In 1775, the young Count de Sade decided to turn a flight from legal trouble into an opportunity to undertake the "grand tour." He transformed his sojourns in Florence, Rome, Naples, and their environs into a philosophical travelogue; alongside advice on where to go and what to see, his Journey to Italy would include analyses of local customs and institutions, history and politics, natural phenomena, and the development of the arts. For today’s readers, Journey to Italy provides remarkable portraits of major Italian cities and the surrounding countryside, vivid accounts of aristocratic and popular entertainments, and a clear sense of what it was like to be a tourist in eighteenth-century Italy – from scams, rough roads, and unreliable guidebooks to learned interlocutors, balls, and nights at the opera. We witness Sade learning about the lives of Roman emperors, the machinations and misdeeds of pontiffs, the power struggles of the Medici, the ancient libertine world revealed by the excavations of Herculaneum and Pompeii, and a host of artistic examples and cultural practices – the material he would soon metamorphose into trenchant satire, gothic horror, and violent sexual fantasy. This book presents the first English translation of Sade’s unfinished and unpolished Journey to Italy along with his extensive dossiers of notations, sketches, plans, and correspondence. The translation is accompanied by extensive explanatory annotations and preceded by a critical introduction that provides biographical, artistic, historical, and intellectual context for Sade’s fascinating project, connecting his travels in and writings about Italy to his later famous and controversial works.

Set against the impending riptide of the French Revolution and composed while Sade was imprisoned in the Bastille, AlineValcour is a sprawling and intellectually sweeping work. Unlike 120 Days of Sodom, while not pornographic, AlineValcour embodies the multiple themes and ideas that would become the hallmark of Sade's more sulfurous works.
