The Marquise de Gange

Loosely based on one of the most notorious crimes of the seventeenth century, The Marquise de Gange by The Marquis de Sade is a neglected classic. Although a departure from his earlier pornographic and libertine works, the novel reads with the same subversive tension of an author plotting against virtue in his distress.

Bazat liber pe una dintre cele mai notorii crime ale secolului al XVII-lea, Marquise de Gange de Marchizul de Sade este un clasic neglijat. Desi o abatere de la lucrarile sale pornografice si libertine anterioare, romanul se citeste cu aceeasi tensiune subversiva a unui autor care comploteaza impotriva virtutii in suferinta sa.
