La filosofía en el tocador

Filosofía en el tocador fue escrita en 1795, cuando el marqués de Sade se en contraba encarcelado en la Bastilla. En esta obra puede decirse que el autor prefirió la ironía, el diálogo y las relaciones humanas para ofrecer una crítica de la sociedad y, al mismo tiempo, un juego de pasiones muy característico.Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade (2 June 1740 â 2 December 1814) (French pronunciation: [maÊ ki dÉ sad]) was a French aristocrat, revolutionary and writer famous for his libertine sexuality and lifestyle. His works include novels, short stories, plays, and political tracts; in his lifetime some were published under his own name, while others appeared anonymously and Sade denied being their author. He is best known for his erotic novels, which combined philosophical discourse with pornography, depicting bizarre sexual fantasies with an emphasis on violence, criminality, and blasphemy against the Catholic Church. He was a proponent of extreme freedom, unrestrained by morality, religion or law.
