Now Sade himself is often celebrated as a heroic apostle of individual rights and a giant of philosophical thought. In this detailed investigative work, Laurence Bongie tests these claims and finds them unfounded and undeserved.\"A valuable correction to the perception of Sade as a profound thinker, a great writer, and a martyr to liberty. Drawing on original archival work, Bongie tries to illuminate Sade's childhood and his relationship with his parents. . . . Fluent and well-informed.\"-Library Journal\"Mr. Bongie . . . has written an investigation focusing on one aspect of Sade's character and development, his heretofore neglected relationship with his aristocratic mother. . . . A profitable selection.\"-Richard Bernstein, New York Times\"A welcome corrective. Bongie's book . . . aims to deflate the exalted claims made about the marquis by demonstrating that he was a monstrous character.\"-Scott Stossel, Boston Phoenix Literary Supplement\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51675977449760,"sku":"NEW0226064212","price":32.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61QavSXGyUL.jpg?v=1779228895","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/sade-a-biographical-essay-0226064212","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
