De Sade has given his name to a perversion that is especially prevalent today. Simone de Beauvoir, in a shattering yet sober and supremely informed analysis of his work, insists that this strange man's imagination should become more widely known. Only by revealing and disseminating de Sade's long-banned words will the original ignorance that creates perversion be cleared.
This is a remarkable book by and about one of the most controversial figures in history. The ten selections from De Sade's writing include previously unpublished pieces from such masterworks as 120 DAYS IN SODOM.
