Product Description

The Marquis de Sade, vilified by respectable society from his own time through ours, apotheosized by Apollinaire as "the freest spirit that has yet existed," wrote The 120 Days of Sodom while imprisoned in the Bastille. An exhaustive catalogue of sexual aberrations and the first systematic exploration-a hundred years before Krafft-Ebing and Freud-of the psychology of sex, it is considered Sade's crowning achievement and the cornerstone of his thought. Lost after the storming of the Bastille in 1789, it was later retrieved but remained unpublished until 1935.
In addition to The 120 Days, this volume includes Sade's "Reflections on the Novel," his play Oxtiem, and his novella Ernestine. The selections are introduced by Simone de Beauvoir's landmark essay "Must We Burn Sade?" and Pierre Klossowski's provocative "Nature as Destructive Principle." "Imperious, choleric, irascible, extreme in everything, with a dissolute imagination the like of which has never been seen, atheistic to the point of fanaticism, there you have me in a nutshell, and kill me again or take me as I am, for I shall not change."-From Sade's Last Will and Testament

As told by Baba to Laxman Mama, Das Ganu and Pradhan’s wife in their dreams on the next day of his Samadhi, he did not die. He only left the body. The divine Sai Power from that day till date is always alert, protecting the devotees. There are numerous incidents in support of this. Though Shirdi is the centre of the divine power of Sai Baba, the entire world is filled with this divine power . That is why Baba gives sakshatkar whenever and wherever his true devotees call him with devotion. In fact, the divine power of Sai is experienced more after Samadhi and there are several incidents to prove this fact. To think that Sai Baba of Shirdi died will be incorrect. He is alive even today. Some devotees may entertain doubts as to how to see Baba, how to hear his words and how to have his Grace, if he is alive. One with a pure heart should have complete faith in Baba. His Life History should be read with devotion frequently. From the moment a person wakes up in the morning, he should be informed of all the jobs to be done during that day. He must first offer to Baba what all are proposed to be enjoyed through the five senses. If Baba’s photo is in the house, he should think that he is one of the family members and do all service to him as done to other members, only then will Baba definitely reside in the house. This is cent per cent true. Worship with pomp and show is not required. He should install Sai Baba in his heart and merge in him. For such pious-devotees Baba will be a slave. His love for his devotees is so great. Those who have experienced Sai’s love and affection will not hesitate to offer their lives at the feet of Sai. His love cannot be explained in words. To imagine Sai’s power, our intellect is not enough.
