Contains Simone de Beauvoir's influential essay Must We Burn Sade? alongside selections from de Sade’s writings chosen and translated by Paul Dinnage.
De Beauvoir examines the Marquis de Sade’s works through a philosophical and feminist lens in this groundbreaking dissection of his work. Explores whether de Sade is pure depravity or a twisted revelation about freedom, power, and human nature.

Typographical aside: The cover title is set in Fette Fraktur except for the S which is Old English, presumably due to Fette Fraktur's S often being misread as a G.
