The Marquise de Gange
Author: marquis de Sade
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198848285
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
'It is time to die, Madame: there shall be no mercy for you..!'It was one of the most shocking crimes of the seventeenth century, and would provide Sade with the inspiration for the last novel he published. The beautiful and virtuous Euphrasie, admired by the King himself, falls in love with the young and handsome Alphonse, Marquis de Gange. Within the forbidding walls of his castle in Provence, however, sinister forces are conspiring against the young couple. Alphonse's brothers, the Abbé and the Chevalier, want Euphrasie for themselves. Published in English for the first time, The Marquise de Gange is a neglected Gothic classic by one of the most notorious authors in the literary canon. Although a departure from his earlier pornographic and libertine works, beneath the novel's thin veneer of respectability lurks the same subversive presence of an author plotting against virtue in distress.

Sodom and Gomorrah
Author: Marcel Proust
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504083849
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 529
Book Description
“Widely recognized as the major novel of the twentieth century,” this French coming-of-age story in the tradition of philosophical fiction (Harold Bloom, literary critic). Sodom and Gomorrah is the fourth volume of Marcel Proust’s masterpiece, In Search of Lost Time, and the last publication from the French literary classic that Proust was able to preside over before his death in 1922. Touching on homosexuality for the first time, Sodom and Gomorrah is also a penetrating, often comic portrayal of French high society as well as a metaphysical exploration of the nature of time, memory, art, love, and death. “Proust so titillates my own desire for expression that I can hardly set out the sentence. Oh if I could write like that!” —Virginia Woolf “The greatest fiction to date.” —W. Somerset Maugham “Proust is the greatest novelist of the 20th century.” —Graham Greene
