About This Item
NY: Castle Books. Very Good- in Very Good- Dust Jacket. 1965. 1st Edition Thus. Hardcover. Contains all his familiar obsessions: contempt for conventional morality, the triumph of vice over virtue, and indulgence in the psychological acts of murder, incest, perversion and sadism. What lifts these stories above their present-day imitators is not only their literary elegance but -- oddly enough -- De Sade's own unique, if perverse, moral tone. I quoted this blurb from the DJ rather than reading the book myself. Edgewear. ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 111 pages; 25615 .
