"CUANDO UN GRUPO DE TEATRO SE AVIENTE A INTERPRETARLA INVITENMEEEEEE Es una obra de teatro muy al Estilo de Sade me gusta mucho aunque es muy muy fuerte la recomiendo ampliamente"
"Of all the treatises I've read on the joys of anal sex with a cabal of debauched, French super-libertines-and trust me, I've read, like, hundreds-this one's easily the most-wait for it-accessible. Oof. Some seriously naughty shizz going on here, in between bouts of philosophical musings on why it's one's natural obligation to engage in anal sex with a cabal of debauched, French super-libertines, of course. And on a purely superficial level, the cover for the new Penguin Classics edition is ridiculously awesome."
"I mean, what do you say about this? I read right up until they invited in the gardener and then I realized I was blushing. Apparently, I'm more of a prude than I thought I was.
On the other hand, the hilarity of the language, with its stage-directed f!cking, would make for an entertaining salon reading amongst friends. Just not, you know, a re-enactment."
"Philosophy in the Boudoir received only three stars mainly because of the subject matter, which is typically what one would find in his stories. They are licentious affairs, unrestrained by either convention or conscience. This book was too sade-istic for my liking. The characters' acts of cruetly and extreme barbarity, are taken to the farthest edges of societal tolerance. I would never recommend this work to women.
What I did like was de Sade's elegant style. His command of language is very rare to find in literature. He's concise but descriptive - too descriptive for some.
Anyone who knows the history of de Sade knows that he wasn't a man to hide behind appearances for the sake of keeping with social norms or etiquette, even for his own benefit. He unabashedly told it like it was, or more aptly, showed it like it was. He wasn't timid about painting people's true nature, one of debauchery and depravation.
Some have accused him of creating nothing more than high class pornography dressed up in ravishing vestments. You can be the judge."
