A still unsurpassed catalogue of sexual perversions and the first systematic exploration of the psychopathology of sex, it was written during Sade's lengthy imprisonment for sexual deviancy and blasphemy and then lost after the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution 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 Later rediscovered, the manuscript remained unpublished until 1936 and is now introduced by Simone de Beauvoir's landmark essay, 'Must We Burn Sade?'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, and a fine example of the Libertine novel, a genre inspired by eroticism and anti-establishmentarianism, that effectively ended with the French Revolution.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBAuthor: Marquis De SadeContributor: Simone de Beauvoir (Introduction by)Genre: Literary CriticismTopic: Fiction, Classic FictionRelease Year: 1991 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
