Retaliation

by the Marquis de Sade

Did the notorious author of Justine and The 120 Days of Sodom have a sense of humour?

Indeed he did, and this story shows a side of Sade few have seen. Here is a witty, libertine tale, free of flagellation and sexual perversion. Instead, it reveals a husband’s adultery and a wife’s clever ‘retaliation’.

This is decidedly a feminist text, and it punctures the double standard still affecting relations between men and women.

R J Dent’s brand-new English translation of the Marquis de Sade’s Retaliation, written by Sade when he was a prisoner in the Bastille in 1788, is now available as a paperback chapbook book as #17 in the Pocket Erotica Series from New Urge Editions.
