Summary
To some the Marquis de Sade was a monster, to others an apostle of sexual freedom and a literary genius. Lever reconstructs the life of the "divine marquis" in all its splendor and perversity. Named a Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year and a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. Index. Translated by Arthur Goldhammer.
First line
What stood in the way of my success was that I was always too much the libertine to bide my time in an antechamber, too poor to bribe my servants to serve my interests, and too proud to flatter the favorites, the ministers, and the mistress.
