Novel Justine by the Marquis de Sade
Justine, by the Marquis de Sade. Its author, the Marquis de Sade, is considered one of the most damned writers in history, labeled as perverse, pornographic, violating, and insane. The publication of Justin's novel in a full edition available to all is another step towards intellectual freedom for the reader. Sade was a philosopher, kind of weird, kind of obscene. But it's worth hearing--and his chance has finally come. The publication of Justin at this time is a major cultural event.
