In this case it is a novel from biographical and historical. Difficult styles tag becomes more features as borderline but in this work is also a strong interest psychoanalytic encyclopedic, licenses or excessive ramblings no spaces convenient, usually the main character's thoughts. It is not easy to write a book about the Marquis De Sade, and fewer have the grace not to be explicit or pornographic, especially in the subject to be treated, but the author succeeds and entertains with a story that does not escape temporal linearity .
