1.0 out of 5 stars
A most faithless translation!,

This review is from: The Complete Marquis de Sade, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
It seems to me that John Yankowski must hate reading the real Sade, and wants to make sure everyone thinks it's the most boring work imaginable.
I've read the Grove Press translations of Sade's works, and his "Complete Marquis de Sade by John Yankowski" bears no similarities whatsoever to a quality translation. Under the guise of making the books easier to read, Mr. Yankowski simply removed all detail, depth of argument and, amazingly, most of the actual occurrences from the works. They are most heavily edited, and to awful effect. Whole chapters and events are skipped without a blink, and the rest are badly paraphrased. And he most certainly and thoroughly erases all sense of any "lubricity". So, if you like your evil fiction to have a breath of life to it, stay away from this version. I'm asking Amazon for my money back on this book and lodging a complaint about its name. The last thing it is is complete! Now, if only we could get Grove Press to publish e-book versions....If you're interested, go to the pages for their editions of Sade's works and click on the "I'd like to read this book on Kindle" link.

This translation is easy to read, unlike some others. And in true Marquis fashion turns your stomach as you turn it's pages.
