About This Item
19 x 12 cm- A tight and unmarked copy-1954 edition-DJ has both shelf wear and a few small tears-" When I was asked to select and translate work by the Marquis de Sade for publication in England I knew that there would be two major difficulties at the outset the difficulty of obtaining authentic texts and the difficulty of publishing in English important sections of his work which public opinion and legal precedent hold to be obscene and blasphemous. The former difficulty was partly overcome with the help of the British Muslim staff. In 1942 a great deal of new material in manuscript form was discovered at the castle of Comte Xavier de Sade, the descendant of the Marquis, in Normandy, but so far only a small collection of letters and some other fragments have been published. Until these discoveries were made it was not known that- de Sade was writing as early as 1764 or as late as 1814, the year before his deal. "- Leonard De Saint-Yves
