What is The Misfortunes of Virtue and Other Early Tales (Oxford World's Classics) about?
Annotation The name of the Marquis de Sade is synonymous with the blackest corners of the human soul, a byword for all that is most foul in human conduct. In his bleak, claustrophobic universe, there is no God, no human affection, and no hope. This selection of his early writings, some making their first appearance in English in this new translation by David Coward, reveals the full range of Sade's sobering moods and considerable talents. This is a fully annotated edition including an introduction, a biographical study, and a history of the censorship of these writings.About the Series:For over 100 yearsOxford World's Classicshas made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
