«Los infortunios de la virtud / El presidente burlado» is the narrative work by the Marquis de Sade, published by Akal in 1974 in paperback (222 pages).
The volume brings together two pieces by the Marquis de Sade: «Los infortunios de la virtud» presents an early version of the story of Justine and argues that virtue leads to misfortune while vice thrives; it is followed by «El presidente burlado». The provocative and philosophical style portrays the human condition and the social structures of the era.
Edition and translation by César Santos Fontenla. Belongs to the 'Akal Mensual' collection, number 7. The original French text of the first piece is 'Les infortunes de la vertu'.
For readers of French literature interested in the philosophical and transgressive side of the Marquis de Sade's work.
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.
