"One of the most prosecuted and banned books in history." * * * The classic novel of a young girl's exploration of physical pleasures. Young Fanny Hill is tricked into a life of prostitution, but she quickly learns the power of her own body as she learns the ways of physical passion. She soon escapes her fate for the loving arms of a wealthy young man, but misadventure and fate conspire to keep her from domestic bliss. Instead, Fanny discovers that sex need not be just for love; that it can be had for pleasure. She then sets out to explore those pleasures in as wide a variety as she can. With old men and young, and women as well; in positions of power, and situations where she has none; either watching or participating, Fanny's journey through the realms of sexual pleasure is a literary tour-de-force. Presented with classically bawdy illustrations from fin-de-siecle French artist Paul Avril, and an introduction placing the work in historical context, this complete, unexpurgated edition is the ultimate presentation of the original erotic novel.

Donatien-Alphonse-François Marquis de Sade (1740-1814) bekam schon als 23jähriger die erste Gefängnisstrafe wegen ungesetzlicher Exzesse. Insgesamt brachte er 27 Jahre seines Lebens in Haft oder in der Irrenanstalt zu. Hier entstanden auch die meisten seiner Romane, in denen die Abgründe der menschlichen Natur in schonungsloser Weise ausgeleuchtet werden. "Justine" bildet dabei so etwas wie einen roten Faden; in immer neuen Versionen weitet de Sade die Geschichte der verfolgten Unschuld zu monströser Breite aus. Unser Text bietet die Erstfassung, entstanden 1787 in der Bastille, unter Verwendung der Übersetzung von Christian Barth. Die Illustrationen - fast ausschließlich Orgiendarstellungen - stammen aus der zehnbändigen sogenannten "Justine III" (1797).
