Waste of time since it's not the definitive version (La Nouvelle Justine). Start learning French boy, or else it'll gnaw at the back of your brain

Yeah, apparently this only exists in our language in a heavily abridged version for some reason. It doesn't matter to me much because its just smut and not anything important.

Boring edgy junk with zero literary value.

Self-defeating fedora-tipping and boring exploitation

The best description of Desade I read on /lit/ years ago was "scrotie Mcboogerballs if it were real."

La Nouvelle Justine is a different book written years later. Non-abridged versions of original Justine do exist in English.

It's the same book expanded upon. The first version came out in 1787, he second (the one everyone knows about) came out in 1791, and the third and final one came out in 1799

Yeah but the nigga added like new 700 pages so its really not the same book. 1791 Justine is only 300 pages or so.

I know there's one that's very short (the one I read) and there's one that's like ten volumes with atheist musings on every other page.

It's quite probably not what you're looking for. If you're looking for a sexy or erotic tale, this is the contrary of that. Not even a hint of it. De Sade is a victim of his own perversion. I'm sure he tries to bring eroticism but he fails miserably. He doesn't love women, or at least he doesn't know how to express it in words. So the only thing you end up feeling is disappointment, because nothing is at stake, since you don't get to know or to love the character. He just describes pieces of meat being thrown around, as if talking about cattle of any other animal.
He just can't even give you a simple phrase like "A beautiful woman.." no, he just can't perform the crucial phase of humanizing and idealizing a character before punishing that character.
In the end, you realize he's just demonizing the church or any other institution of authority, using quite a low and filthy pamphlet, wich he can't even make a little bit sexy.
If you're going to read any of Sade's crap go for "The 120 Days of Sodom", so you can skip all the other shit and go for the real big shit. If you're looking for the "hardcore de sade" that's the only 'book' you need to read, wich I don't recommend. It's just a bunch of old rich people abusing other people to the extreme, without any justification or premise.
De Sade fails at what his known for, it happens all the time. Someone who comes up with "something" but it's not good at it.
