An erotic novel by Marquis de Sade

Abridged--Buyer Beware
The Look Inside feature shows that this is abridged, and that somebody has broken it up into chapters. Shun this and shell out a few extra bucks for "Justine, Philosophy in the Bedroom, and Other Writings," which is faithful to Sade's originals.

This review is from: Justine: or 'Good Conduct Well Chastised' (Paperback)
I am reading this book right now. In many places, but especially chapter 32, there are places where the sentences make zero sense. Obviously the text was chopped up improperly and the book is carelessly edited. Please read this classic, but don't read the Wilder Publication version unless you want to be confused.
