Cuentos sádicos (El Arco de Eros)
El Marqués de Sade lo dejó «Sostuve todos mis extravíos con razonamientos. No dudé, vencí, supe arrancar de raiz, supe destruir en mi corazón todo lo que podía estorbar a mis placeres... Es necesario tener el valor de trangredir los límites». Sade se rebeló contra la moral de su época y supo trasladar sus opciones personales a historias literarias que lo consagraron como referente de un género que mezcla lo racional, lo revolucionario y lo obsceno. Para los amantes de la literatura erótica, leer los textos de Donatien Alphonse François, todavía hoy, es sentir un ramalazo de inconformismo y de ruptura que asombra doscientos años después de su fallecimiento en la cárcel de Charenton. Donatien Alphonse François de Sade, más conocido por su título de Marqués de Sade y llamado por sus admiradores «el Divino Marqués» (1740 - 1814), fue un aristócrata, escritor y filósofo francés, autor de varias novelas que aúnan los relatos pornográficos con la exposición de un sistema filosófico materialista y ateo.

About the author
Marquis de Sade
615 books2,416 followersA preoccupation with sexual violence characterizes novels, plays, and short stories that Donatien Alphonse François, comte de Sade but known as marquis de Sade, of France wrote. After this writer derives the word sadism, the deriving of sexual gratification from fantasies or acts that involve causing other persons to suffer physical or mental pain.
This aristocrat, revolutionary politician, and philosopher exhibited famous libertine lifestyle.
His works include dialogues and political tracts; in his lifetime, he published some works under his own name and denied authorship of apparently anonymous other works. His best erotic works combined philosophical discourse with pornography and depicted fantasies with an emphasis on criminality and blasphemy against the Catholic Church. Morality, religion or law restrained not his "extreme freedom." Various prisons and an insane asylum incarcerated the aristocrat for 32 years of his life: ten years in the Bastile, another year elsewhere in Paris, a month in Conciergerie, two years in a fortress, a year in Madelonnettes, three years in Bicêtre, a year in Sainte-Pélagie, and 13 years in the Charenton asylum. During the French revolution, people elected this criminal as delegate to the National Convention. He wrote many of his works in prison.

Para un mejor aprecio a la lectura, considero que se necesita saber el contexto histórico-político-religioso-social de la época

El Marqués propone un juego bastante simple, dotar de naturaleza humana todo terror y virtud, diálogos mordaces, divertidos, y contextos tragicómicos, hacen de Cuentos Sádicos quizá la obra más inocente de Sade.
