He causes no end of bother to his powerful, his redoubtable inlaws, the President and the Presidente de Montreuil: does that justify two years in a fortress? His heroine Justine marches blindly ahead, remaining virtuous and kind, while every stranger she meets takes carnal advantage of her, each one with a larger and more menacing phallus (literally).

The Justin bedframe has been finished in a solid Grey to add a modern contemporary feel to any bedroom. De Sade takes ample opportunity to rehash his philosophies on atheism, sodomy, incest, thievery and murder, in the various punishments inflicted upon poor Justine. The fact that Sade was a politician as well as a sex trafficker, rapist and thug adds a whole other ironic element to this fiasco of an erotic treatise. But for the blossoms to fall all too soon in a morning storm---ah, how foolish are the men who die young of overindulgence in the way of sensuous love. Keep your space clutter-free and enjoy the convenience of having everything you need within easy reach.But Sade, with his glaciers and his gulfs and his terrifying castles, with the unremitting onslaught he delivers against God — and against man himself — with his drumming insistence and his repetitions and his dreadful platitudes, with his stubborn pursuit of a sensational but exhaustively rationalized action, with this constantly maintained presence of all the parts of the body (not a one of them but somehow serves), of all the mind's ideas (Sade had read as widely as Marx), with this singular disdain for literary artifices but with this unfaltering demand for the truth, with this look of a man forever animated and entranced by one of those undefinable dreams that sometimes take rise in the instinct, with these tremendous squanderings of energy and these expenditures of life which evoke redoubtable primitive festivals — or great modern wars, festivals of another sort perhaps — with these vast raidings of the world or, better still, this looting he is the first to perpetrate on man, Sade has no need of analyses or of alternatives, of images or of dramatic turns of events, of elegance or of amplifications.

However, I can't see the devoutly religious enjoying Sade's work and sexual vulgarity in the least to begin with. There is no better way to familiarize oneself with death than through the medium of a libertine idea.He describes their crimes with such pornographic and bestial detail, makes his criminals so much wiser than their victims, that it just seems clear to me that they are the heroes. What generations of readers and scholars have found is that regardless of what one makes of Sade’s predilections, he is a brilliant stylist and an often-imitated-but-never-replicated philosophical provocateur.

Later in life he began writing racy accounts of the financial, amorous and erotic affairs of the merchant class and the demimonde. For not only does he invite us to slay our neighbors and our parents, he would have us kill our own wives.You not only get "Justine" and "Philosophy in the Bedroom", there are many shorter works and a collection of De Sade's letters. The savage is not noble in any sense that we might recognize; he is merely a bundle of appetites, and he waits just below the patina of civilization for any chance to sate his lusts. His athiestic tirades were dead on, but his rants on women's inferiority were so ridiculous that I wondered if he were "pulling a Jonathan Swift. Most of it is inane or mere shock value, some is scathing and trenchant, and just a little is magnificent.
