Justine: Édition intégrale (French Edition)

Typically the Marquis de Sade is somehow considered a fiend because of Sadism. It takes a writer to understand that he is being reactive against systems of authority and realizes that sexuality is the only weapon available to the literate. he's actually defending himself against the pathological obsession of a particular person that targeted him for a long time jealous of his inheritance and estates. There's no doubt he engaged in naughty play as much as any other nobleman of his time but his rhetoric is purposely provocative those who don't understand this may take it too far. He was innocent of practically everything he was accused of, rather gentlemanly he did not impress himself upon ladies of the Court or society but he hired Street prostitutes. As in many wealthy households there were sweets laden with laudunum, in those days considered largely a lady's pleasure because of the inhibition of libido caused by the drug. He offered them the sweets with the hope that they would fall asleep and he could have his way. The historical record says he simply left them with the tray. The police report says he poisoned them. The police report was written by the same individual who was waiting like a hungry Wolf year after year for something to use against him. Framed and incarcerated in a society that was increasingly hostile just before they invented guillotines, turn whatever paper he could into weapons by unlocking human sexuality in his enemies. With clever words and stylish phrases he dove into entirely new places in the erotic mind and his reigned ever since in a throne that isn't really his.

Great

Yes it is hot, subversive, Very naughty And Very well written. When you though you were out He is pulling you back in

La naturaleza del bien y del mal, de la virtud y la depravación. El placer,el sufrimiento, el gozo, la muerte, el poder.El sentido de relación con el Otro marcado por una naturaleza ambigua. La cultura estructurante de la virtud frente al sinsentido de esa misma cultura. El poder y la ética.El pacto social y el bien común. El poder como corrupción.

Der alte Lüstling de Sade versucht zu demonstrieren, dass tugendhaftes Verhalten (hier: Bewahrung der Jungfräulichkeit) sich nicht auszahlt und mit zahlreichen Leiden erkauft werden muss. Die Story ist natürlich an den Haaren herbeigezogen und dient lediglich der Illustration der obigen These. Die Sprache ist klassisches Französisch mit nicht allzu schwerem Wortschatz. Liest sich flüssig und halbwegs spannend.
