Narrative To Books Justine, or The Misfortunes of Virtue

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.

Write-Up Appertaining To Books Justine, or The Misfortunes of Virtue

I don't even know how to rate or review this. Yes, I was well aware of de Sade's reputation before I started reading this and I knew what the subject matter would be like. If you don't know well, look it up (rape, torture, scat, vivisection, and worse). Despite the disturbing subject matter (and Justine isn't even considered one of his most depraved works - I believe that title belongs to 120 Days of Sodom), this book has stood the test of time and is considered by some, a classic. I don't

Saying that this is my kind of porn comes across very, very badly. So before i say that (or write it) i just want to make it absolutely clear that i enjoyed the intellectual side of it, not the raping side. So, without further ado, this is my kind of porn!Hence the 5 stars.I'd also like to formally invite the Marquis over to my place for dinner this Saturday, because as we all know he and Elvis are having the time of their (still very ongoing) lives somewhere on a secluded island, Richard

First impressions:Marquis de Sade...you are one crazy m*****f*****. So I had learned about Marquis de Sade, or at least first heard of him after watching the movie Quills and I immediately became really interested. Yes, his works are incredibly graphic and really go off the deep end, but he was added to my bucket list of authors I wanted to read just for the sake of reading.After doing a little research I chose Justine, a classic, and one of his more famous stories to give a try at but it was a

Great book, but i really don't care for translations. Let's see, something I took from this book:Believe in God and a bunch of people are going to rape you, take advantage of you, tie you to a tree and let the dogs get you, while your sister becomes a whore and marries a rich guy and gets all the wonders in the world, while everyone who's fucked you over got rich and became successful.But, hey, at least you go to heaven in the end...



let's leave all what was written about the author, introductions, criticism and rumors. because all these things mean nothing. If we want to get to know someone, we ought to read his work with neutrality and try to understand the message that he is trying to send us. Because if the author was so evil and obscene as most people describe him. He wouldn't wrote what he wrote and he wouldn't share his thoughts with the world. And we shouldn't forget that he lived in an era where the church governed

When I was a grad student in Comparative Literature, all the "cool kids" read the Marquis de Sade. Just add philosophical musings to the sexcapades and basically you have porn for intellectuals!
