SynopsisThe Marquis de Sade, vilified by respectable society from his own time through ours, apotheosized by Apollinaire as "the freest spirit tht has yet existed, " wrote "The 120 Days of Sodom" while imprisoned in the Bastille. An exhaustive catalogue of sexual aberrations and the first systematic exploration -- a hundred years before Krafft-Ebing and Freud -- of the psychopathology of sex, it is considered Sade's crowning achievement and the cornerstone of his thought. Lost after the storming of the Bastille in 1789, it was later retrieved but remained unpublished until 1935., The Marquis de Sade, vilified by respectable society from his own time through ours, apotheosized by Apollinaire as "the freest spirit that has yet existed," wrote The 120 Days of Sodom while imprisoned in the Bastille.

  • This Book

    This book is very interesting. Something crazy some parts of the book.. But surprising that at the time it was written it was done that way. Finally, the book is interesting if you read it with your mind open.

  • read it if you dare.

    Marquis de Sade had a very strange mind. His writings in the book was, i would have to say, crazy, insane and stunning. The cruelty inflicted on his characters is outstanding. I know this kind of stuff goes on but this is one is over the top for detail. And to think his real life was weird normal if there is anything as weird normal. The human beast is the cruelest of all animals for sure.
