Juliette

"e;An amazing sequence of imaginatively bizarre sexual adventures punctuated by philosophical and theological digression."e; -Library Journal "e;'Twas at Panthemont we were brought up, Justine and I, there that we received our education."e; Marquis de Sade's 1797 masterpiece contrasts the erotic adventures of the title character, an amoral nymphomaniac murderer who is nevertheless successful and happy, with her sister Justine, a virtuous woman who encounters nothing but despair and abuse. "e;The Marquis is a missionary. He has written a new religion. Juliette is one of the holy books."e; The New York Times Book Review "e;It is not necessary to take the Marquis seriously as a philosopher of total freedom, as some do, in order to relish the imagination and talent that went into the gilding nuggets of naughtiness contained here."e; Playboy
