| Synopsis: |
The Baron de Teroze has already successfully married off his eldest daughter to a colonel of the dragoons; now it is time for him to arrange his younger daughter's nuptials. A corrupt magistrate from Aix seems to him the ideal candidate, much to the disgust of the young Mademoiselle de Teroze, who is in love with another man. Vowing to rid the beautiful marchioness of her odious old husband, her lover, sister and brother-in-law conspire in a series of hilarious manipulations that ultimately results in complete humiliation and defeat for their hapless guest. As a companion piece to "The Mystified Magistrate," "Emilie de Tourville" tells the chilling story of another unfortunate younger sister, whose elder, lawyer brothers exact revenge on her for compromising their family's honour. Two of the Marquis de Sade's most elegant tales of love and deception, these pieces offer a scandalous glimpse into his society's hidden proclivities and a shocking indictment on the rising bourgeoisie. |
