The Crimes of Love
'Senneval, you see in me your sister, the girl you seduced at Nancy, the woman who murdered your son, the wife of your own father and the ignoble creature who sent your mother to the gallows...'

The Crimes of Love and Other Stories
Those who have read other works by the Marquis de Sade, particularly "The 120 Days of Sodom," and are aware of the vast scope he gives to the word libertinism, will find a Sade this time more sensual than perverse. And this is not a negative factor; on the contrary, the Marquis's writing surprises with its quality and beauty. However, promiscuity is present throughout the work.

In this complete edition of " Crimes of Love", the reader will find 14 stories that represent an excellent sample of the irreverent, provocative, and boundless Marquis de Sade.
