Description

Contrary to her sister Justine, Juliette is extremely cruel and sado-masochistic, willing to go to any length to gain pleasure; be it poisoning an entire town or betraying her fellow libertines. Such conduct, furthermore, guarantees impunity; and is not impunity the most piquant aliment to debauchery? The Olympia Press edition was originally scheduled to appear in five volumes, but it evenually completed publication in seven. You can read it for 100 pages and stop; you can read the whole thing; you can read five pages and give up.

To be prettier than she were a thing impossible; a fit model to any artist, she had a sweet, celestial countenance, fair tresses, large blue eyes where shone something tender and inviting, a figure copied after one of the Graces. Karma Houdini Warranty: The author says at the very end that Juliette died 10 years after the book's ending, without giving details. You, my pigeon,” she went on, kissing me with inordinate feeling, “you’ll not leave my clitoris unattended, will you? And, pray tell, what beneficial or other influence can the vulgar fool’s opinion have upon our happiness? Set in the 1770 and 1780s, Juliette starts off as a young girl raised in a nunnery, but later joins a brothel in her teenage years.This is the first exciting thing about de Sade: when you read him, you become (by default) the love of his life. These are famous for being “incongruous,” since they’re bookended with orgies, and we don’t associate philosophy with orgies. Juliette literally swallows the feces of her male servants for the fun of it, and Durand isn't fazed by the idea of getting skinned alive. You have trained my mind, you have rescued it from the darkness wherein childhood prejudices enshrouded it. I have no need to say that among recluse women the thirst for the voluptuous is the sole motive for close friendship: they are attached one to the other, not by virtue, but by fucking: one is pleased by her who soaks one at sight, one becomes the intimate of her by whom one is frigged.

The Story of Juliette, or Vice Amply Rewarded, published in 1800 while Sade was enjoying temporary freedom during the French Revolution, is the continuation of Justine, or the Misfortunes of Virtue (1791), considered the antithesis of Samuel Richardson’s moral novel Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded (1740). The publication of Sade’s works, one of the most radical literary experiments, was prohibited in France until 1957 (even if illegal editions, including the one exhibited here, had been widely circulated since the 18 th century), when the publisher Jean-Jacques Pauvert was acquitted of the charge of “ outrage aux bonnes mœurs” [affront to public decency] for publishing Sade’s novels.He's the one who grooms her into the sociopath she is today, and at no point do they have a disagreement. Soon afterward, Justine becomes introverted and morose and is finally struck by a bolt of lightning and killed instantly. Which is only to say that, having first learned to cope with the guilt consequent upon petty misbehavior, you will soon learn to quell any uneasiness over having performed a sizable atrocity, and to learn also to execute every atrocity, great and small, with a constant and inviolable serenity. Then those two minxes, laughing merrily, stepped up to me and soon had me in a state identical to theirs; whereupon Madame Delbéne’s kisses assumed a completely different character.

Well, this cure is quite as sweet as it is sure, for it consists simply in reiterating the deeds that have made us remorseful, in repeating them so often that the habit either of committing these deeds or of getting away scot free with them completely undermines every possibility of feeling badly about them. He produced a frenzied, garrulous, overwhelming torrent of obsessively repeated incidents and themes. Why indeed, my dear,” she retorted, “I believe I’d prefer to have you tell me you greatly fear you’d taste too many pleasures.Comparable to the Hydra whose heads grow back as swiftly as they are lopped off, it will unceasingly debilitate you if you falter at the task of obliterating its principles. Nevertheless, I do recognize that one may take an interest in men; it is no mystery to me that one will now and then do everything under the sun to lay hands on them; whatever is connected with libertinage makes powerful sense to me.
