This book was released on 2021-05 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The libertine philosophy of the notorious Marquis de Sade, one of the most infamous and hated men in all of history, gave birth to the classic story of Justine, or "The Misfortunes of Virtue," a tale replete with brutal tragedy befalling the seemingly cursed existence of a pure, chaste, and virtuous girl. The cynical Sade uses this immorality play to expound upon his philosophy of Darwinian struggle and nihilistic moral futility. His rakish, bawdy, and bizarre short "histories" also give to the reader a taste of the venomous and troubled imaginings of this exceptional, deranged mind; while, revealing a comic and grotesque, even child-like side to the Divine Marquis that many may not have ever been aware of. A wonderful collection of his writings for those just beginning to explore this mad, controversial, and thoroughly brilliant man of letters. Published by Zem Books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name of the Marquis de Sade is synonymous with the blackest corners of the human soul, a byword for all that is foulest in human conduct. In his bleak, claustrophobic universe, there is no God, no morality, no human affection, and no hope. Power is given to the strong, and the strong are murderers, torturers, and tyrants. No quarter is given; compassion is the virtue of the weak. Yet Sade was a man of savage intelligence who carried the philosophy of the French Enlightenment to its logical extreme. His writings effectively release the individual from all social and moral constraint: for many, Sade is the Great Libertarian. The Victorians considered him `Divine' and Apollinaire called him `the freest spirit'; the Surrealists recognised him as a founding father, and he is a key figure in the history of modernism and post-modernism. With Freud and Marx, Sade has been one of the crucial shaping influences on this century, and reactions to him continue to be extreme. But he has always been more talked about than read. This selection of his early writings, some making their first appearance in this new translation, reveals the full range of Sade's sobering moods and considerable talents. - ;Revered by Enlightenment and Victorian thinkers, de Sade was recognized as a founding father by the Surrealists, and holds a prominent place in the history of modernism and post-modernism.

Book excerpt: The work " Justine: The Misfortunes of Virtue" was produced by the Marquis de Sade in the year 1787. The initial milestone of Justine's misfortunes is the death of her father, the loss of the family fortune, and the attempts of the governess to lead her and her sister, Juliette, into a life outside the law. Juliette accepts the fate to which the governess points, but Justine's refusal leads her to flee. Throughout Justine's journey, spanning from the age of 12 to 26, vice proves inseparable from virtue, both as a result of the incessantly undertaken escape. At each stage, a mark is inflicted upon the protagonist, with the clergy, aristocracy, merchants, judiciary, wealthy, and powerful invariably appearing as actors in the circus of obscenities where the other is reduced to an object of their will. In the emblematic ending, where the Marquis de Sade illustrates his philosophy of life, the stories of the sisters intersect once again, prompting reflection from the reader.

Download or read book Justine written by Marquis de Sade and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intent on leading a life of virtue, our heroine of the piece sets out to make her way in France. What befalls her is anything but virtuous. One after the other, at the hands of brigands and harlots, mad monks and rabid dogs, corrupt Justices, and vile Governors, she suffers indignities incomparable to any a young woman could ever imagine. So outraged was Napolean by the dissemination of this work, that he ordered the immediate arrest and imprisonment of the Marquis de Sade. Altogether visceral and poetic, de Sade's vision of libertinage takes the reader on an uncompromising tale of excess and its destructive nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great virtue of this volume is that it reveals a lighter, comic side of Sade. He was a man obsessed, like many great writers, and his obsessions are still present here: his hatred of all things pretentious, his loathing of a corrupt judicial system, his damning of hypocrisy and false piety. One of the great anarchists of all time, he was nevertheless far from mad (as many pretended) and these works of fiction shed still another light on this most feverish of minds. But however heavy the subject, The Mystified Magistrate is infused with a light touch; it is revealing but never offensive.

Download or read book Justine Illustrated written by Marquis de Sade and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-29 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Justine (original French title: Les infortunes de la vest) was an early work by the Marquis de Sade, written in two weeks in 1787 while imprisoned in the Bastille. It is a novella (187 pages) with relatively little of the obscenity that characterized his later writing, as it was written in the classical style (which was fashionable at the time), with much verbose and metaphorical description. A much extended and more graphic version, entitled Justine o Les Malheur. de la (1791) (English title: Justine, or The Misfortunes of the Virtue or simply Justine), was the first of de Sade's books published. A further extended version, La Nouvelle Justine Les Malheurs.de la (The New Justine), was published in the Netherlands in 1797. This final version, La Nouvelle Justine, departed from the first-person narrative of the previous two versions, and included around 100 engravings. It was accompanied by a continuation, Juliette, about Justine's sister. The two together formed 10 volumes of nearly 4000 pages in total; publication was completed in 1801. Napoleon Bonaparte ordered the arrest of the anonymous author of Justine and Juliette, and as a result de Sade was incarcerated for the last 13 years of his life. The book's destruction was ordered by the Royale de Paris on May 19, 1815.
