The 120 Days of Sodom
Autor Marquis De Sade Traducere de Will McMorran, Thomas Wynnen Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 sep 2016
This distressing but hugely important text has influenced countless individuals throughout history: Flaubert and Baudelaire both read Sade; the surrealists were obsessed with him; film-makers like Pasolini saw parallels with twentieth-century history in his writings; and feminists such as Andrea Dworkin and Angela Carter clashed over him. This new translation brings Sade's provocative novel into Penguin Classics for the first time, and will reignite the debate around this most controversial of writers.

The Marquis de Sade was born in Paris in 1740. He was imprisoned several times for his scandalous behaviour, and wroteThe 120 Days of Sodom, his most notorious work, while in prison in the Bastille. He managed to ingratiate himself with the new regime after the French Revolution, but by 1796 was a ruined man. He died in an insane asylum in 1814.

Recenzii
Without
in
any
way
giving
in
to
hyperbole,
I
would
say
that
this
translation
is
a
21st
century
monument,
changing
not
only
the
way
in
which
we
view
the
French
18th
century,
but
providing
a
guide
to
the
present
and
future
The great merit of this edition is the thoroughly excellent translation by Will McMorran and Thomas Wynn. It has none of the phoney archaism of earlier English translations. Instead it is like a window, allowing us to have as clear of view as possible of Sade's mind and world ... In their scholarly and wise introduction, the translators are careful to emphasise the historical context ... Sade's novel feels as grimly relevant to the terrors of our age as to those of his own.
An excellent translation
A blistering new translation ... This new version of the120 Daysis well overdue [and] these two dons have done a sterling job ... This new, accessible120 Daysalso forces us to confront ourselves
We thought this translation was quite exceptional in its capacity to capture the true voice of this strange and difficult eighteenth-century text, the textual and editorial scholarship of the translators, their wonderful handling of the terminology and the diction of the original, along with the fluency of their translation, and the ways in which it creates for the first time for Anglophone readers a properly accurate version of Sade's text

A still unsurpassed catalogue of sexual perversions and the first systematic exploration of the psychopathology of sex, it was written during Sade's lengthy imprisonment for sexual deviancy and blasphemy and then lost after the storming of the Bastille during the French Revolution in 1789.
