The actual value in the work consists in the fact that it exhaustively catalogues several forms of perversions, and in this sense it can in principle be of use to psychiatrists or those who have to deal with the criminally insane. But the various forms of sexual depravity are fairly well understood these days in the psychiatric and criminological domains (and via more recent, professional literature), and this reduces the 120 Days to a historical footnote only to be enjoyed as shock value-smut. Still, the 120 Days preceded the Psychopathia Sexualis' cataloguing effort by a century, and my recent writeup on Krafft-Ebing's work is available here:

For Sade in general, I did a write-up on a breezy "picture book" a while back, which is here:
https://warosu.org/lit/thread/24105611
But now that I am actually getting into Wainhouse/Seaver, I am going over the biographical and bibliographical details very carefully, and comparing texts back-and-forth. I've read all the opening critical essays (including Beauvoir's well known "Must We Burn Sade?", figures that a female pedophile would be sympathetic, heh, although she openly admits that his writing can be tedious and autistic, she literally suggests he might have had autism at one point, which would explain the extreme, uncompromising, and fundamentally correct atheism, his best trait as a human being). My next stops will be to read the shorter pieces (Oxtiern, and various short works from Les Crimes de l'Amour), and punch up a more thorough Sade timeline on multiple tracks: his personal life, his various writing periods, and the significant world-historical events around same.
no, and anyone advertising they've read/bought it is a peak pseud. It's worthless crap you read maybe once out of curiosity and never think about again, unless you're someone who doesn't actually read and wants to posture about it.
"Supervert" is some modern smut writer who I value only because for years the said writer retained an extensive online library of various Sade writings and related things on the eponymous website. This appears to have been taken down (circa 2021-2022 or so) on the current version of the site, but so long as it remains accessible via archive.org, it is of little concern. The website may have gotten a cease and desist (translation under copyright, etc), but if they did, they certainly took their sweet time with it. The material was readily available on the website for several years. Very probably, /lit/ interest in Sade (particularly 120 Days) and other interest from the youtube people and the like might have prompted the cease and desist (gotta incentivize those sales).

>>25316621(OP) This thread made by the fag in her discord who bought her nitro and keeps asking her to post dancing videos. He posted a video of himself unpacking Crime and Punishment because she recommended it. In the video he performatively spins the book around to showcase how chill and cool he is. Later on he wrote a Stan parody about the two of them to make her think he's clever, meanwhile forgetting that he's a 30 year old millennial and she doesn't even know who the fuck Eminem is. It's like your dad trying to impress by showing off his Metallica concert tickets. He's reading this right now, the repulsive little freak. Everyone know he wrote the first reply to this thread, too.

120 days is a very funny and insightful novel that you should not read in its entirety. people who read it (>implying) and think >hurf durf he wrote it because he had a boner for poop duhhh are complete retards who misunderstand a) de sade's conception of organized power and morality's mutual ineluctability and b) the conditions under which de sade composed the novel (trapped in a prison with frequent and dreadfully vague promises of release due to the whims of a social structure he could never quite understand). there is still nothing quite like it, although it becomes quite dull and repetitive after c. day 15

>>25318320 But those who read it should be able to know an excerpt that it's a macrocosm of the work, right? That's what I'm asking. By going to random pages I haven't find any explicitly sexual quote, only about shit
