Gothic Tales of the Marquis de Sade by Marquis de Sade, Margaret Crosland
"The stories in this collection are among the most accessible of Sade's fiction. They range from the dramatic novella Eugenie de Franval - in which a father's criminal passion for his beautiful daughter leads to intrigue, abduction and murder - to comic tales such as 'The Husband Who Played Priest', concerning a lecherous monk who finds an ingenious way to combine clerical duties with secular pleasures. Sade's gifts as a humorist are much in evidence, as is his particular delight in unusual marital situations - which invariably lead to the most diverting conclusions."--BOOK JACKET.
