120 Days of Sodom
120 Days of Sodom | marquis de Sade
8 posts | 12 read | 16 to read
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 acheivment.

120 days of Sodom is reference to the school of Libertinage. A school where 4 heros (De Sade's words not mine) take children of both sexes along with their wives where they are schooled in the practice of complete submission to their masters.

This is my third De Sade and potentially my last as while I find him as a person fascinating his books can be very dry to read.

NataliePatalie I saw the movie of this awhile back. I'm not sure I could bring myself to read the book...!!! 3y
Michellesibs @NataliePatalie Oh I didnt realise there was a movie! I will check that out at some stage. Thanks 😊 3y

I mean, I get it. Over 200 years old and it's still shocking, disgusting, and upsetting. And I also realize it was unfinished. However, I finished this book as quickly as possible so I could drop it like a crappy, manipulative, abusive, narcissistic ex-boyfriend...117/1,001 #1001Books

BarbaraBB You actually finished it 👍! I don‘t even dare trying although I must, eventually... 😉 #1001books 6y
AshleyHoss820 @BarbaraBB haha! Thank you!! Ugh! The only reason I finished this was because it wasn't going to be my Death-Bed Book: the one book in 1,001 that I didn't read. 😂😂😂 (edited) 6y
vivastory I finally went through the 1,001 Books & wrote down the books I've read. I've read 100. I'm still on the fence about reading all of them. It's tempting 6y
AshleyHoss820 @vivastory I know how you feel. I've struggled through a few books and wondered if it was really a must-read. Overall, though, I've read books I'd been putting off and discovered authors I had never heard about and ended up loving...so, I'd say it's been worth the effort. 😄😄😄 6y

This is a weird book and the last half is basically just a list of fucked up shit to do to people. Not the worst book I've read but definitely a particular vibe.
