Produktbeschreibung

The Marquis de Sade's notorious 1791 novel is narrated by Justine, who recounts the story of her life before being executed for her crimes. It is a tale of degradation, torture, and sexual slavery, and was so shocking it resulted in the arrest of its anonymous author. De Sade would spend the final thirteen years of his life in prison. Napoleon called Justine "the most abominable book ever engendered by the most depraved imagination."

Autorenporträt

Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade, was a French aristocrat and writer who was notorious for his immoral lifestyle, and whose name provided the basis for the modern terms sadism and sadist. Among de Sade's best known works are the erotic novels Justine, or Good Conduct Well Chastised, Juliette, or Vice Amply Rewarded, and The 120 Days of Sodom. Although an elected delegate to the National Convention during the French Revolution, de Sade was regularly incarcerated because of his lasciviousness, spending approximately 32 years in prison or in an insane asylum. He died in the asylum at Charenton in 1814. De Sade's life is depicted in the 2000 film Quills starting Geoffrey Rush, Kate Winslet and Joaquin Phoenix.
