The Marquise De Sade (yukio Mishima's Work Series)
About This Novel
Yukio Mishima's drama masterpiece, published in Chinese for the first time, is a dramatic demonstration of the mysterious madness of "normal" men and women. The more despicable, cruel, immoral, and filthy human affairs are, the more they need to be described in elegant language. After Sade was imprisoned, the Marquise de Sade remained chaste throughout her life and ran to rescue her husband from prison. In old age, when Sade was free, she suddenly broke up with him. Hidden within this mystery is something real and incomprehensible about human nature. With Madame de Sade as the center, the six female characters in the play respectively represent chastity, morality, God, sensuality, innocence, and the people. They move intertwinedly like planets, and the conflict of ideas forms the climax of the drama.
