4.0 out of 5 stars
Indespensible
Though the items on this list were the basis for a subsequent, completed work, the passions detailed here make for an interesting read on their own. Like the unfinished sketch of a master painter, this book is brilliant on its own terms and shouldn't be graded against the other. True fans will agree.

Don't bother...
This is just a list of the "600 Passions" presented in his novel 120 Days of Sodom. In this novel, 4 former prostitutes/madams tell 5 erotic tales (referred to as "Passions") each night for 30 days each. This book is just a list of each of those. Read the NOVEL! Get the full benefit of his literature.

Nice Cover, Messieur de Sade.,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lusts of the Libertines (Velvet) (Paperback)
Like I said, "Nice cover," but without reading the entire manuscript this was like perusing the shopping list of Hell, all notation, no substance. These "Passions" are nothing more than reiteration of the scenes in the original book "The 120 Days of Sodom", a sort of preview to acts to follow. The actual tome "The 120 Days of Sodom" is about 600 pgs long and includes a really cool short story called "Florville and Courval" (akin to Alfred Hitchcock) that is well worth your time.I bought this before Groove Press released the whole shebang. This is very much a rough draft and hardly worth even one star. But it is a NICE cover, baby! Au revoir, mon petite de le amour.
