Synopsis

Les Cent Vingt1 Journées de Sodome, ou l'École du libertinage est la première grande œuvre du marquis de Sade, écrite à la prison de la Bastille en 1785. Telle qu’elle est, l’œuvre ne présente qu’une version inachevée, que l’auteur eût probablement poursuivie s’il ne l’avait perdue en 1789, à moins que, comme l'écrit Michel Delon2, elle ne soit « inachevable », ne pouvant pas « montrer ce qui excède l'imagination ».

About this title

About the Author:

Donatien Alphonse Fran?ois, 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.
