La escritura es tediosa y aburrida, abundan las descripciones de los personajes con medidas y todo, la trama es tan simplona que no termina de funcionar a modo de una historia como tal, más bien parece que es solo el pretexto para introducirnos a las más de 140 pasiones.
¿Lo recomiendo? Quizás, dependiendo de la persona, ¿Lo volvería a leer? Siendo honesto, no creo darle otra oportunidad ni a este libro ni a ningún otro del marqués, sencillamente no es lo mío.

I knew some old books were like this, but it was really hard to get used to such long sentences. The introduction took me a while to read, but the rest was much better. Also, I would like to applaud the translators.
Reading 120 Days of Sodom was like a fever dream. I thought it'd be some hardcore bdsm fantasy with crazy tortures, but most of it was de Sade’s possible love for asses and utter filth. My favourite (the funniest) quote: “I’ll have someone shit in my breeches, and I'll keep the treasure the whole evening.” Yeah, there was too much scat.
I've seen people mention that the book fails to convey that the four main characters are bad people. In my version of the book, I've seen them being called villains and outright saying that what they were doing was disgusting, etc. Correct me if the original French version does not have that. (Not like de Sade needs to take the reader by hand, point and say, “Hey, this is wrong.”)
Also, the fact that executing someone by breaking them on a wheel was still used before the revolution surprised me.

Well, I was "fine" up until we got to part 2 and the last 25% of the book, where the depravity and disturbing shit began. I'm going to go have nightmares now. The list format made it much, much worse than part one's first person with Champville and the other prostitutes. That part was the least depraved. boring and read like bad fanfiction, but not nightmare inducing or stomach turning. never again.

ما اعرف اذا جانت الرواية لو الطريقة اللي انكتبت بيها الرواية "على شكل مخطوطة بدون تصحيحات" او المكان اللي انكتبت بي "بالسجن" لو قصة دو ساد او المقالة اللي كاتبها عنه البير كامو بكتابه (المتمرد) خلاني اهتم بهاي الرواية
ملاحظة/ اذا ما جنت مهتم بدوساد او ما جنت تعرف عنه هواي لا تقرا هاي الرواية لان disgusting بالاضافة الى ان مطولة هواي ومرات يصير تكرار وملل لان الرواية ما لحك دوساد يصححها ويختصرها وظلت كمسودة وانطبعت
بس هي كتجربة كانت اوكي

RIP Marquis de Sade, you would have loved The Sluts by Dennis Cooper.
One of the most harrowing things I’ve ever read. That being said, I think it’s an impressive work and shocking that it was able to survive era after era without being destroyed.

read for my ‘psychology of evil’ class. i understand why my prof mentioned it. would rate negative stars if i could. probably the most messed up thing i’ve had to read. i don’t even see it as an art piece or something that can be interpreted, it’s just pure inhumane disgusting torture. would not recommend. made me sick to my stomach.
