{"product_id":"9780982046494","title":"Sade: Sex and Death: The Divine Marquis and the Surrealists","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Marquis de Sade (1740–1814), best known for his violent, erotic novels, such as \u003ci\u003e120 Days of Sodom \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eJustine\u003c\/i\u003e, was also one of the key inspirational figures identified by André Breton in his \u003ci\u003eSurrealist Manifestos\u003c\/i\u003e. De Sade’s importance to the Surrealists and their close affiliates is reflected in the sheer volume of art and writing dedicated to, or inspired by, his life, philosophy, and writings. \u003ci\u003eSade\u003c\/i\u003e documents this body of Surrealist work, including many key texts and bizarre and erotic images never before assembled in one volume. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded in \u003ci\u003eSade \u003c\/i\u003eare more than fifty rarely seen transgressive illustrations by some of the most famous names associated with Surrealism, including Dalí, Hans Bellmer, Magritte, André Masson, and Man Ray. The book also features analytical texts by writers of the period such as Bataille, Breton, Bunuel, Eluard, and Klossowski. Also included is the first-ever English translation of “The Divine Marquis” by Guillaume Apollinaire, which was the first modernist appraisal of Sade and remains one of the best concise biographies of its subject, and “Sade and the Roman Noir” by scholar Maurice Heine, in which Heine posits Sade as inventor of the gothic novel. Putting the works in context is an extensive history by editor Candice Black that details the relationship between the Surrealists and Sade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Solar Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47035511963888,"sku":"9780982046494","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780982046494_p0.jpg?v=1763885546","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780982046494","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
