Marquis de Sade

The Marquis de Sade narrates the escalating sex-crimes of four libertines who barricade themselves into a remote castle with both male and female victims and accomplices for a four-month, precipitous orgy of sodomy, coprophagia and rape leading inexorably towards torture and human decimation.

The 120 Days of Sodom

The only redeeming quality of this book is that it pissed off the Catholics.

Author clearly succeeded into making me disgusted and very bored but I get that’s sort of what he might have wanted (the disgusted not the bored, or at least I think)

I guess I could think deeper about it and come up with all kinds of reasons why the author wrote this book. Is he trying to convey a message or is he just someone who gets off on it and decided to write a book about? Yet if I’m honest. I don’t really want to think deeper and stick my head in the thought process. I just want to bleach my eyeballs.

The 120 Days of Sodom is Sade's masterpiece. A still unsurpassed catalogue of sexual abberrations and the first systematic exploration of the psychopathology of sex, it was written during Sade's imprisonment and then lost after the storming of the Bastille in 1789. Later rediscovered , the manuscript remained unpublished until 1936 and is now introduced by Simone de Beauvoir's landmark essay, 'Must We Burn Sade?' Unique in its enduring capacity to shock and provoke, The 120 days of Sodom must stand as one of the most controversial books ever written
