Libertinage is as much a part of Nature as asceticism. This is fundamental to understanding de Sade's The 120 Days of Sodom.

As this article shall show, what de Sade offers in Sodom is an image of a society that has replaced civilized practices with libertinage, thus making it the dominant doctrine. |
