Book excerpt: The Marquis de Sade spent more than half his life in prison, which gave him the excuse to take his revenge on society through evocations of sexual cruelty. Excluded from normal life, he developed an extremist vision of the world through stories, dialogues, and historical novels. Included here are extracts from his major fiction, including Les Cents Vingt Journees de Sodome, Justine, and the compulsively vicious Juliette. Other titles by Margaret Crosland, available from Dufour, include Sade's Wife and de Sade's Crimes of Love.
