Excellent, many-angled introduction to de Sade. Bloch admits he is something of an apologist for the Marquis as he attempts to explain the culture of de Sade's France, how it could have produced such an amazing creature. It turns out de Sade, who seems to us of somewhat unusual tastes, was not quite so unique among his fellow eighteenth century French. De Sade was only really giving a colorful picture of what he himself called, "the age of complete corruption."

Interesante análisis.
Por otro lado es curiosos leer a Sade desde el punto de vista de un conservado. Por cierto, sera error de traducción, o edición que ...confunde "homosexualidad" con "pedofilia".

I'll sum up my feeling with a quote from the book.

"The gross debaucheries and atrocious cruelties are covered with a resplendent mental veil because of the systematic exposition of the philosophic principles in all fields of vice. Its justification by logical method as well as by precepts and examples only makes vice more horrible in effect, both for degenerate and normal beings"-Iwan Bloch
