The mystified magistrate and other tales
Published for the first time in English is the comic and scandalous light fiction of the Marquis de Sade, who--despite controversy surrounding him--possessed a mordant but undeniable sense of humor. The title piece of this volume is a delightful skewering of the Provencal judge who sentenced Sade to death in absentia in 1772.

- "This lively collection demonstrates Sade's ability as a short story writer. His preoccupation with sapphic love, and enjoyment of comedy are all in evidence, but it is in the portrayal of his female characters that Sade is seen at his most modern."
