The Complete Marquis De Sade Boxset
Out of stock
$15.00
“Adorned with gripping cover art by Man Ray and translated by renowned scholar Dr. Paul J. Gillette, this dramatic collection of de Sade writings includes “Justine,” “Juliette,” “120 Days of Sodom,” “Philosophy In The Bedroom” and many works often scattered among “pastiche” versions of de Sades oeuvre. Free of the author’s repetitions, polemics and syntactically complex 18th century phrases, this edition captures the drama of de Sade’s forays into human sexuality including such practices as voyeurism, fetishism, and, most famously, sadism. Vilified by critics in the 1800s as “Monstrous… depraved… An odious book by an even more odious man,” de Sades depiction of his personal adventures has been studied and enjoyed by readers in light of the 20th and 21st centuries. Readers will also discover a mind as free as de Sades adventures were uninhibited, for he discusses natural evolution 25 years before Darwin’s birth; postulates the existence of the unconscious mind a century before Sigmund Freud; and probes social mores decades before the work of Margaret Mead.”
Holloway House, 1966 Mass-Market Paperback Boxset edition. Wear/rubbing to box along with edges of spines.
