Juliette

The letters were not too small..and the paper quality was also goodRegarding content...if you can accept a certain amoral attitude towards things ...u can accept this...not for traditional or conservative

good job

a fascinating book, perhaps not to every ones taste, perhaps not even mine. A book I had seen in a woman's boudoir some years ago in France. I thought then I would one day read the English edition. What took me so long? Hell I don't know, now read on...........

If you want to see what the basis for the word Sadism is all about, this is the place. Finally available on the net in its complete, unexpurgated evil entirety, with the translation improved by Austryn Wainhouse, as published by Grove Press in the mid 20th century. This is a cornerstone example of the extreme diversity that human imagination can produce, in this case advocating evil behavior in all aspects of life, and supporting its ethos with reams of "philosophy" mostly consisting of examples from remote cultures and convoluted reasoning which always reveals that evil is what Nature (not the nonexistent God) intended the enlightened individual to be, and that evil acts are the most laudable and most exciting to the passions, which are meant to be aroused by hurting others in every way possible. All this is of course interspersed with many, many scenes of physical cruelty and depravity, each more titillatingly disgusting than the last. Juliette is unlike anything else ever published, I think, in it's unrelenting conviction of the goodness of badness.

Best in class

1,600 punishing pages devoted to disproving theology, worshing vice and exploring the deepest, darkest corners of the human experience. Plunge yourself into the hell of Sade. A philosophical, amoral tale of corruption, deprivatity, sex, hedonism, crime, hatred, blasphemy, sin and history. As if the man was possessed by demons to taint the hearts and minds of readers and drag them to hell."Abandonne tout espoir, toi qui entres ici."
