D. A. F. Marquis De Sade Libri
Questo aristocratico, filosofo e scrittore francese è rinomato per le sue visioni libertine sulla sessualità e sullo stile di vita. Le sue opere, che comprendono romanzi, racconti e trattati politici, spesso fondono il discorso filosofico con rappresentazioni esplicite di fantasie erotiche, enfatizzando la violenza, la criminalità e la blasfemia. Sade sosteneva una libertà radicale, non vincolata da morale, religione o legge. Molte delle sue opere furono prodotte durante i suoi lunghi periodi di incarcerazione.

The name of the Marquis de Sade is synonymous with the blackest corners of the human soul, a byword for all that is most foul in human conduct. In his bleak, claustrophobic universe, there is no God, no human affection, and no hope. This selection of his early writings, some making their first appearance in English in this new translation by David Coward, reveals the full range of Sade's sobering moods and considerable talents. This is a fully annotated edition including an introduction, a biographical study, and a history of the censorship of these writings.
