The 120 Days of Sodom
By Marquis de Sade
Translated by Dr Will McMorran, Translated by Thomas Wynn
A new translation of Sade's most notorious, shocking and influential novel
This horrible but hugely important text has influenced countless individuals throughout history- Flaubert and Baudelaire both read Sade; the surrealists were obsessed with him; film-makers like Pasolini saw parallels with twentieth-century history in his writings; and feminists such as Simone de Beauvoir and Angela Carter clashed over him. This new translation brings Sade's provocative novel into Penguin Classics for the first time, and will reignite the debate around this most controversial of writers.
