Sade

Sade’s Sensibilities examines a new and different Sade: one engaged with broader currents of Enlightenment feeling. In this volume, we recapture a historical Sade alongside a contemporary portrait of Sade as the consummate radical of the eighteenth century.

This book connects the philosophy of the Marquis de Sade—one of the most notorious, iconic, and yet poorly-understood figures within the history of European thought—with the broader themes of the Enlightenment. Rather than seeing himself as a mere pornographer, Sade understood himself as continuing the progressive tradition of French Enlightenment philosophy. Sade aspired to be a philosophe. This book uses intellectual history and the history of philosophy to reconstruct Sade’s philosophical ‘system’ and its historical context. Within the period’s discourse of sensibility Sade draws on the philosophical and the literary to form a relatively sophisticated ‘system’ which he deploys to critically engage with the two major strands of eighteenth-century ethical theory: the moral sense and natural law traditions. This work is of interest to: ‘Continental’ Philosophy, Critical Theory, French Studies, the History of Eighteenth-Century Philosophy, Literary Studies, the History of Moral Philosophy, and Enlightenment Studies.

A revival of the classical style in the comedy genre. A two-act play for at least five actors (2m, 3f) based on the short story "The Love Stratagem" by Marquis de Sade. Almost all the lines, plot, intrigues and characters except for Villeblanche were created by the author. So much so that the play does not contradict the style of the Marquis de Sade, either literally or intellectually. It is a comedy reminiscent of Molière, but with a Sadean taste. A woman disguised as a man is a typical Shakespearean theme. Bedrettin brought this theme into the work with the same sense of humor. The characteristics of the play include the use of double entendre, cross-dressing, comic love scenes, physical seduction, cynicism and other forms of daring language. There are no sets or props in the play except for chairs. Therefore, it has a low cost and is suitable for touring. For those who want to rediscover classic comedy with a modern touch.

The 120 Days of Sodom by Marquis de Sade relates the story of four wealthy men who enslave 24 mostly teenaged victims and sexually torture them while listening to stories told by old prostitutes. The book was written while Sade was imprisoned in the Bastille and the manuscript was lost during the storming of the Bastille. Sade wrote that he "wept tears of blood" over the manuscript's loss. Many consider this to be Sade crowing acheivement.

Everyone knows what sadism is, but nobody chooses to read De Sade. Nor must they, as we have now taken the collected graphics from 4000 book pages, and put them together without the text.
