«Justine, ou Les malheurs de la vertu» is the libertine novel by the Marqués de Sade, published by Gallimard in paperback (443 pages, in French).
After the ruin of her family, Justine tries to preserve her virtue, but each step drags her into new humiliations. Through that succession of misfortunes, Sade reverses the moral: vice triumphs while virtue is punished, and the novel becomes a bitter critique of social morality and justice.
Novel originally published in 1791; this French edition belongs to Gallimard's L'Imaginaire collection.
For readers of classic French literature and of philosophical novels that question the morality of their time.
Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade was a French writer, libertine, political activist, and nobleman best known for his libertine novels and imprisonment for sex crimes, blasphemy, and pornography. His works include novels, short stories, plays, dialogues, and political tracts. Some of these were published under his own name during his lifetime, but most appeared anonymously or posthumously.
