Who but the Marquis de Sade would write not of the pain, tragedy, and joy of love but of its crimes? Murder, seduction, and incest are among the cruel rewards for selfless love in his stories--tragedy, despair, and death the inevitable outcome. Sade's villains will stop at nothing to satisfy their depraved passions, and they in turn suffer under the thrall of love.
This is the most complete selection from the Marquis de Sade's four-volume collection of short stories, The Crimes of Love. David Coward's vibrant new translation captures the verve of the original, and his introduction and notes describe Sade's notorious career. This new selection includes "An Essay on Novels," Sade's penetrating survey of the novelist's art. It also contains the preface to the collection and an important statement of Sade's concept of fiction and one of the few literary manifestoes published during the Revolution. Appendices include the denunciatory review of the collection that it received on publication, and Diderot's vigorous response. A skilled and artful story-teller, Marquis de Sade's is also an intellectual who asks questions about society, about ourselves, and about life. Psychologically astute and defiantly unconventional, these stories show Sade at his best.

Sharp suit
Color: Black, Size: X-Small, Color: Black, Size: X-Small
The quality of the suit is very nice. The material feels thick and does not feel cheap at all. My son and I were both very pleased with this three piece suit altogether. We went off of size recommendation and due to personal preference we both agreed if we weren’t already in time crunch we would’ve sized up one size. Still managed to make it work and looked very sharp. He is 5’10” 150lbs - size ordered extra small

This suit was perfect for my son’s senior prom. Quality material and fit him perfectly! This was ideal when you don’t want to rent a tuxedo, knowing he will use it again and again. He looked so very handsome.

Great suit!
Color: Black, Size: Small
Great suit! Suit is well made for the price. Very comfortable, nice material and could be worn for any occasion no matter the time of year. We ordered according to the size chart and fit great! Would be easy to do a little tailoring if needed tho. Came in quick and is exactly what we needed. Will be ordering other colors for the future!

Just an unbelievable purchase and strongly recommend
Color: Black, Size: Medium
Unbelievable! One of the BEST purchases I made. Fits perfectly, wasn’t wrinkled at all. In fact, I don’t need to take it to the cleaners to be pressed. Class all the way. Well made, elegant, fabric was perfect as it was not too thin. Compared to tuxedos in the store and this was exactly the same. Only difference is this suit was $150 less!
