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 everyJulliette, de SadeThe Fortunes of ViceWhen I was a young man consumed by curiosity, I came across a wretch known as de Sade. His extensive writings were radically immoral, and later endorsed by the left wing French philosophers Bataille and Foucault. He created a nausea hard to ignore. His descriptions of rape and crushing babies under his boots haunts me to this day.Certainly de Sade included popes and politicians within his broad denunciation of human worth. A misogynist, creature of kingdom
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!
Whereas the companion text, Justine, is is the story of Virtue Punished, this one tells the corollary of Vice Rewarded. Includes a misandrist avenger at no extra cost.
A very funny and cynical book. Not recommended for the religiously inclined.
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.
I bought this book when I worked at Barnes & Noble and because when I was reshelving the book (found in the men's bathroom...vomit) I flipped it open to a scene where nuns were introducing a 12 inch dildo to the virgin Juliette's vagina. I thought that was interesting enough to make me buy the book.Yes, I know De Sade was purposefully pushing the limits. yes, I know that De Sade was allegedly NOT insane (or was he? who else thinks about setting pubic hair on fire for fun or making a man fuck
