Justine was an early work of the Marquis de Sade written while imprisoned in the Bastille. It contains relatively little of the obscenity which characterized his later writing. Napoleon Bonaparte called Justine "the most abominable book ever engendered by the most depraved imagination." Bonaparte ordered the arrest of Sade who as a result was incarcerated for the last 13 years of his life. Justine is set just before the French Revolution in France and tells the story of a young woman who goes under the name of Therese. Her story is recounted to Madame de Lorsagne while defending herself for her crimes en route to punishment and death.

Although I've come across people refusing to give De Sade's works a chance, this book is nothing short of amazing. Not only did I find it emotionally stimulating, but intellectually stimulating. I wrote down various quotes from this book because they were so thought provoking. I've read Justine multiple times and every time I gain something new from it. This book questions the line between vice and virtue and will possibly have you questioning your own beliefs. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read. I would even say that those who haven't read it are missing out. This book is incredible!
