Meet the Author

Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade, was a French aristocrat and writer who was notorious for his immoral lifestyle, and whose name provided the basis for the modern terms “sadism” and “sadist”. Among de Sade’s best known works are the erotic novels Justine, or Good Conduct Well Chastised, Juliette, or Vice Amply Rewarded, and The 120 Days of Sodom. Although an elected delegate to the National Convention during the French Revolution, de Sade was regularly incarcerated because of his lasciviousness, spending approximately 32 years in prison or in an insane asylum. He died in the asylum at Charenton in 1814. De Sade’s life is depicted in the 2000 film Quills starting Geoffrey Rush, Kate Winslet and Joaquin Phoenix.

    Not for the faint of heart

    If you ever wondered where the term sadism was born, this will answer your question. After reading this book I wonder if women were really treated this way. I then decided they probably were as no one could make up the atrocities that were inflicted on the characters in this book. Read it if you dare.

    Odd

    Hard to feel any sympathy for the characters after the first chapter. Everything is vague and off kilter. Although a prime example of faith standing against evil, Justines character was also a bit annoying.
