This book is gross in its over-the-top descriptions of monstrous sex. It's ridiculous, really, but I find it incredibly amusing because it's not meant to be taken seriously. The philosophy, however, is, and although it can sometimes get tedious, Sade has some good points on life worth discussing. A long read, and it could corrupt you, but it's a great ride worth trying out!Even though I am only almost through with Juliette, I feel as though I have managed to grasp the essence of the book already and can, therefore, give my thoughts on it. This is the Sadeian novel at its most perfected. It is the Don Quixote of Sade's novels, in other words. Now, with that stated, I would like to address some complaints I've seen other members mention in regards to this book. Is it boring? Well, it wasn't to me. Sade has never bored me. Some readers might, of course be bored to
Rarely do I write a review on a book I'm not finished with, but this warrants it, as I've taken a bit of heat for reading this in the first place.Firstly, this book is a tough read, due to the incredibly disturbing sexual violence. Before I hit 100 pages, I put it down, determined to never finish it. However, prevailed upon by Oscar Wilde ("There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all"), I decided to give The Marquis another go, and
I read/owned this book many years ago, and eventually sold the book to a used bookstore, because I could not see myself reading it for a second time. I confess that I only picked this de Sade book in particular (I was curious about de Sade anyway) because of the title character. Since my name is so awesome (har har), I gravitate toward characters who share it with me.I did like the book, and it did open my eyes to new things... but damn, if this book is not disturbing. The sex is kinky every
I believe that this is one of the best critics to society that I've read. I did't particularly like the parts of abuse, shit eating, piss drinking and human flesh eating, and even after the first half I still got disgusted, and until the end I was disgusted.But the society is still as corrupt as it was back in Sade' days.All religions are discriminatory towards womans.The governments prefer their pleople ignorant as extremly obedient to their whishes.Powerfull and rich people always manage to
holy shit. juliette... what a woman... i can't believe i got through all 1200 pages. rambling monologues on the philosophy of the libertine interspersed with some of the most disgusting torture sex imaginable. some brilliant quotes are buried amongst the madness.
Sex! Sex! Sex! Orgies! Rape! Sodomy! Murder! Death! Adultery! Homosexuality & hate for the Catholic Church written in the most disgustingly beautiful way. I had the pleasure & I do mean PLEASURE of reading this as an adult that can cogitate the meaning de Sade wished to express. This is very heavy, dense literature! Extremely philosophical, & definitely penetrating! One can't help but appreciate the author's writing or his views on authority which at the time happened to be the
