Reseña del libro "Gothic Tales (en Inglés)"
8 chilling short stories that straddle the line between horror and erotica, full of passion and intrigue, from legendary 18th century Parisian aristocrat, the Marquis de Sade "Ghouls and fiends, hapless femmes and dastardly villains; de Sade could weave a good gothic tale" -- The Herald (Glasgow) Notorious for erotic novels that use satire and social critique to challenge the aristocracy in Pre-revolutionary France, his sexual transgressive work made his name unmentionable in civilized circles. Writing about Enlightenment philosophy as much as he does about incest and adultery, de Sade's fiction delves deep into the darkest recesses of the human psyche and remains as relevant to our society as it was to his own. Thrumming with devious fantasies and dangerous liaisons, these gothic stories lay bare the transgressive desires of his unforgettable characters. As good behaviour gives way to wicked impulse, each finely crafted tale reveals an uncomfortable truth about human nature, from a pitch-black social comedy exposing the hypocrisies of the church to a drama-laden deep dive into adultery. Infamous for spending decades in prison and condemned by Parisian society, de Sade's writing provocatively challenges the morality of day, introducing through these stories a lawless locale of vice and freedom. With a provocative introduction from translator Margaret Crossland, Gothic Tales provides a tantalizing entry point, showcasing Sade's gift as both a moralist and a humorist through classic stories including: Eugenie de Franval The Horse-Chestnut Flower The Chastised Husband Florville and Courval The Husband who Played Priest Emilie de Tourville Room for Two The Self-Made Cuckold
