The Ghosts of Sodom

"Includes a selection of Sade's letters from Charenton, as well as the working notes for his terminal novel 'The days at Florbelle'-- a huge manuscript seized at Charenton in 1807 and deemed so pornographic that it was burned by the police at the behest of Sade's own son. Also included are Sade's last will and testament, a Sade bibliography, and a full chronology of his life, plus the rare essay 'De Sade: a study in Algolagnia' by Mantague Summers"--P. [4] of cover.
