Relation Supposing Books Letters from Prison

Imprisoned much of his adult life for both his rebellious conduct and his scandalous writing, the Marquis de Sade remains, almost two centuries after his death, a fascinating figure, a true rebel with a cause, one who despite all attempts to suppress his works remains a vital and enduring influence. Here in one volume is a generous sample of his correspondence over a more than twenty-year period, from 1777, when he was first incarcerated in the Vincennes fortress near Paris, to 1789, when he was transferred from the Bastille, shortly before it was stormed at the outset of the French Revolution, to the Charenton Asylum, from which he was finally freed on April 2 -- Good Friday -- 1790. Impassioned, angry, querulous, plaintive, caustic, indignant, cajoling, pleading, self-justifying, bade gives vent in these letters to his profoundest thoughts and opinions of the moment: he flatters those from whom he seeks help or solace, vilifies those who have brought him low, offers often brilliant and always original insights about society, the body politic, and his fellow man -- and women. These beautifully crafted letters offer us a Sade without artifice or embellishment, adding to his often stereotyped image a new, more human dimension.

Judgment Appertaining To Books Letters from Prison

مقدمهی خوب مترجم جایگاه ساد را در تفکر غربی نشان میدهد لکن بیارتباط است به کتاب پیشرو. شکایت سادِ زندانی در نامههایش از مادرزن بیشرفش و عشقش به زنِ سادهلوحاش.

I wanted to read these letters to find some hint of the man behind the legend. I was hoping for insights into his true feelings and personality. What I got was a bit of a let down. There is nothing truly interesting here at all, though there are a few nuances that were surprising. He uses a lot of pet names for his wife, that bordered at times on the sarcastic. It is hard to figure out if he really meant any affection for her at all, or if he was simply amusing himself with his own creative

I'd prefer to read the unabridged letters in their original French.

مقدمه مترجم که خیلی خوب بود. نامهها هم خوب بود ولی نمیدونم چرا حس کردم ساد از یک عدم تعادل شخصیت رنج میبرده. یه جا چنان عاشقانه برای همسرش مینویسه یه جا دیگه فحش رو میکشه بهش. نمیدونم شاید در قرن 18ام این یه مسئله عادی بوده.
