The most unholy piece of litterature ever put to paper. Readers be warned, this is one you might not be able to stomach.
Should you choose to proceed nonetheless, you shall be taken straight into the mind of a psychopath. More than just erotism and violence, you will discover how such a human thinks, his morale, his values, his desires and fantasies. De Sade spends a great deal of time diving in deep detail into philosophy, most of it being anti-religion. He longly disserts about the murderous hatred of one’s own mother, the laws of Nature that demand one should obey his every urge without consideration for other human beings, in fact, it is even better if somebody else is suffering from your pleasure.
This story is what it looks like when psychopaths can do anything they please without consequences. The abuse of the victims become increasingly extreme as each month passes. Every bodily fluid and waste is considered an erotic delicacy, and is regularly ingested for pleasure.
By far one of the most fascinating novels ever written. But prepare to be shaken to your very core.
