Loosely based on one of the most notorious crimes of the seventeenth century, 'The Marquise de Gange' by The Marquis de Sade is a neglected classic. Although a departure from his earlier pornographic and libertine works, the novel reads with the same subversive tension of an author plotting against virtue in his distress.
