Justine

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the harrowing journey of a young maiden, the narrative explores themes of virtue and vice as Justine, at just twelve years old, navigates a cruel world filled with exploitation and abuse. Her relentless pursuit of moral integrity leads her into the clutches of various scoundrels, subjecting her to horrific experiences. Originally penned during the Marquis de Sade's imprisonment, this expurgated edition reflects the complexities of censorship surrounding the work, with no definitive version existing due to numerous revisions.
