A collection of short stories written by de Sade while he was in the Bastille, this is quite different from his more famous works. The subject matter is similar, in that the stories deal with adulterous affairs and "deviant" sexuality (take that "deviant" how ever you like, since it's all a matter of perspective in these matters), but these are actually funny. They reminded me of Boccaccio's Decameron or one of my bawdy favorites, Fablieux Fair and Foul. De Sade is obsessed with his own court case (understandably), which can get rather tedious, especially in the first (and titular) story. Nonetheless, this was much easier to read than De Sade's other work and was fairly amusing. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The great virtue of this volume is that it reveals a lighter, comic side of Sade. He was a man obsessed, like many great writers, and his obsessions are still present here: his hatred of all things pretentious, his loathing of a corrupt judicial system, his damning of hypocrisy and false piety. One of the great anarchists of all time, he was nevertheless far from mad (as many pretended) and these works of fiction shed another light on this most feverish of minds. But however heavy the subject, The Mystified Magistrate is infused with a light touch; it is revealing but never offensive. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
