I finally finished it, sometimes the detail was way too much. Fascinating and erotic, nonetheless. ( ) I've finally found time to read this book...nothing better than a hot summer "romance" :) I'm in the "throes" of his 13 yr. imprisonment. as kaelirenee mentioned having some background in French (and Italian) history helped me quite a bit imaging his movements through Vincennes, LaCoste, the Bastille, and other locations. Moreover, I can understand the French mentality of the time and how the Marquis fit and did not fit into it. I was hoping for a little more "licentiousness" and a little more psycho-analysis from Plessix Gray. So far her breif mention of Sade's lack of respect of women borne out his indifferent and absent mother during his formative years was predictable for me. I hope a more in-depth analysis of Sade as well as the mores of 18th century France will be discussed. ...or maybe our author is a gateway "drug" to more promising book about Sade...I hope not. This book took me a little while to get into, but after the first couple of chapters, I was hooked. Understanding a bit of French history helps in reading this book, but it isn't necessary. This book explains how the women in the Marquis' life effected him, inspired him, and possibly destroyed him. The research is impeccible and well-presented. Great for any student of European history, because it puts the story in the context of the time, or anyone who wants to know more about the man behind the concept of sadism. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Marques de Sade esta ahora tan suspendido en el limbo entre la leyenda y el mito, que el mundo casi ha olvidado que alguna vez fue un hombre, un noble, un soldado, un marido, un padre y, por supuesto, tambien un pornografo genial en un tiempo y en un lugar reales, la Francia prerrevolucionaria.Francine du Plessix Gray ha tenido una idea brillante al recrear no tanto al 'monstruo' que se convertiria -sombrio destino- en un adjetivo, sino al hombre real, que paso gran parte de su vida en prision gracias a sus c trasgresiones sexuales y a un monstruo de carne v hueso, su suegra, que podria haber sido la Figura central de Relaciones peligrosas si el autor de la novela lo hubiera atrevido a incluirla.Este es un estudio elegante y esclarecedor acerca de una poderosa imaginacion sexual atrapada en un mero cuerpo, un prisionero de la Bastilla de la que solo una revolucion pudo liberarlo... a el y a nosotros, sus futuros lectores."
