The Crimes of Love: Heroic and tragic Tales, Preceded by an Essay on Novels

Oxford World’s Classics

Who but the Marquis de Sade would write, not of the pain, tragedy, and joy of love but of its crimes? Murder, seduction, and incest are among the cruel rewards for selfless love in his stories; tragedy, despair, and death the inevitable outcome. This new selection includes ‘An Essay on Novels’, Sade’s penetrating survey of the novelist’s art.
