La Nouvelle Justine, 1
Nel 1797 viene pubblicato in Olanda "La Nouvelle Justine ou les Malheurs de la vertu suivie de l'Histoire de Juliette, sa saeur". Quest'opera monumentale, di circa quattromila pagine, che il suo autore aveva preparato in numerose redazioni che ne aumentano ancora, e di molto, l'ampiezza, un lavoro quasi interminabile, ha immediatamente spaventato il mondo. Se nelle biblioteche esiste un inferno, questo libro vi è destinato. Si può riconoscere che in nessuna letteratura e in nessun tempo si è avuta un'opera così scandalosa, che nessun autore ha ferito in modo altrettanto profondo i sentimenti e i pensieri degli uomini. Chi oggi oserebbe competere, per licenziosità, con Sade? Sì, lo si può affermare: ci troviamo di fronte all'opera più scandalosa che sia mai stata scritta. (Maurice Blanchot).

Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade was a French aristocrat and writer famous for his libertine sexuality and lifestyle. His works include novels, short stories, plays, and political tracts; in his lifetime some were published under his own name, while others appeared anonymously and Sade denied being their author. He is best known for his erotic novels, which combined philosophical discourse with pornography, depicting bizarre sexual fantasies with an emphasis on violence, criminality, and blasphemy against the Catholic Church. He was a proponent of extreme freedom, unrestrained by morality, religion or law. Sade was incarcerated in various prisons and in an insane asylum for about 32 years of his life; eleven years in Paris (10 of which were spent in the Bastille) a month in Conciergerie, two years in a fortress, a year in Madelonnettes, three years in Bicêtre, a year in Sainte-Pélagie, and 13 years in the Charenton asylum. Many of his works were written in prison. The term "sadism" is derived from his name. ([Source][1]) [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquis_de_Sade
