Gilbert Lely Volgorde van de boeken (chronologisch)

Studie o jeho životě a díle: Gilbert Lely navázal na práci Maurice Haina a uspořádal faktografický materiál, který se zachoval a na jehož základě zrekonstruoval průběh hlavních afér Sadova života, čímž završil proces očišťování od žurnalistických pomluv, které zatemnily Sadův literární a vědecký význam na více než sto let.

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.
