Exploring the darkest corners of human depravity, this novel follows four affluent men who abduct and subject 24 young victims to extreme sexual torture, all while old prostitutes narrate sordid tales. Written during the author's imprisonment in the Bastille, the manuscript was lost during its storming, leading Sade to lament its disappearance profoundly. Often regarded as his masterpiece, it delves into themes of power, cruelty, and moral corruption, reflecting the author's controversial legacy and exploration of libertine philosophy.
