The Crimes of Love

Who but the Marquis de Sade would write, not of the pain, tragedy, and joy of love but of its crimes? Murder, seduction, and incest are among the cruel rewards for selfless love in his stories; tragedy, despair, and death the inevitable outcome. This new selection includes 'An Essay on Novels', Sade's penetrating survey of the novelist's art.

Cine, in afara de marchizul de Sade, ar scrie nu despre durerea, tragedia si bucuria dragostei, ci despre crimele ei? Crima, seductia si incestul sunt printre recompensele crude pentru dragostea altruista din povestile sale; tragedia, disperarea si moartea rezultatul inevitabil.
