Description

The 120 Days of Sodom is the most controversial book in the history of literature. The Marquis de Sade narrates the escalating sex crimes of four libertines who barricade themselves in a remote castle with both male and female victims. A masterpiece of black humour, pornographic to a point of excess and aberration never before reached by any other writer, this is the first and ultimate literary outrage. Until now, Sade's masterwork was only available in tame, outdated translations, this new uncensored version brings the work back to incendiary life.

Author Biography:

Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade (2 June 1740 -- 2 December 1814) was a French aristocrat, revolutionary politician, philosopher, and writer famous for his libertine sexuality and lifestyle. His works include novels, short stories, plays, dialogues, and political tracts; in his lifetime some were published under his own name, while others appeared anonymously and Sade denied being their author. He is best known for his erotic works, which combined philosophical discourse with pornography, depicting sexual fantasies with an emphasis on violence and criminality. Georges Bataille (1897-1962) was one of the most original thinkers and writers of the 20th century. In 1928 he wrote Story Of The Eye, often regarded as the greatest pornographic novel of all time, and broke away from Surrealism in 1929 to edit his own highly influential journal, Documents.
