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 another light on this most feverish of minds.

Described as both “one of the most important novels ever written” and “the gospel of evil,” 120 Days of Sodom was written by the Marquis de Sade, a notorious eighteenth-century aristocrat who waged a campaign of mayhem and debauchery across France, evaded execution, and inspired the word “sadism,” which came to mean receiving pleasure from pain. Despite all his crimes, Sade considered this work to be his greatest transgression.

Underneath the patina of civilized society lies the Sadean demimonde: a bundle of lustful appetites fueled by momentary impulse and a desire for unfettered indulgence. And the target of this savagery: Justine de Bertole, a pious and virginal heroine. Grotesque, inhumane, and compelling, Sade’s novel overturns Rousseau’s views of the social contract, and the common trope that punishment only visits sinners, to deliver a passionate treatise on good and evil, virtue and sin.

"The 120 Days of Sodom" is "the most impure tale that has ever been told since our world began". It was written by the Marquis de Sade, a french noble man, in the space of 37 days, while imprisoned in the famous parisian Bastille. Fearing confiscation, the Marquis de Sade, Donatien-Alphonse-François, had to write it on a continuous roll of paper, made up of small pieces glued together. The original manuscript is now on display in Paris, and is the third most expensive kept in France, insured for 12 million euros.

"Perfectionne ta physique, et tu comprendras mieux la nature ; épure ta raison, bannis tes préjugés, et tu n'auras plus besoin de ton dieu." Tout est là-dedans. L'œil droit et fier, le menton relevé, le buste gonflé. Parfois hautain et arrogant, Sade balayant les arguments en faveur de Dieu et de la religion d'un ton virulent et sans demi-mesure, la prose farouchement athée du Marquis est pleinement esthétique, et même plus, si expressive et savoureuse. Cette rébellion n'est pas vide de philosophie, d'humanisme, d'une certaine forme de sagesse athée, ou d'un esprit raisonnable assez ouvert et doté de bon sens, pour pouvoir sur quelques points séduire même les croyants.

Their leader, a beast of a male capable of shifting into a monster with claws for hands and fangs for teeth, finds me and takes me captive.

He's made it clear he won't join with me, but blocks any chances I have of finding a mate, keeping me at his side.

I'm trapped on a harsh, snow-covered planet waiting to be hunted, with no way of escape. I know that the alien warrior chief with purple skin and a cutting tail is coming for me, but I've got no intention of letting him take me. I'll fight him with hands and fists, knives and teeth. I'll fight the rising heat between us. I'll fight the ache in my chest where an empty hole beats, serving as a painful reminder that once, before his kind took from me, I had a heart. It’s a heart that the warrior thinks is his. And unfortunately, he's unafraid to fight for what he wants.

Unterstützt von drei anderen Wüstlingen - einem Kirchenfürsten, einem Richter und einem Financier - wird er an seinen Gefangenen alle nur denkbaren Perversionen verüben, sich immer mehr in irren und unvorstellbaren Wahn steigern, um sein Ziel zu erreichen: Perversionen mit tödlichem Ausgang.

In the last decade of the 16th century, William Shakespeare could not dare write A Midsummer Night's (Wet) Dream unabridged. Due to the nature of his birth century, the Bard wrote in a poetic "Shakespearean Code", hinting at sexualities and paraphilia he fully intended to compose and expose his Elizabethan audience to. His intended "erotica for every fetish" morphed instead into a "humane and wise drama" by happenstance. But what if there was a multiversal reality where the Marquis de Sade deciphered the Shakespearean Code during his long stay at the lunatic asylum at Charenton?
