![]() Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel – and the direction Culture Trip is moving in. ![]() Each month is set to feature tales of increasing depravity the first is dedicated to the “simple passions,” the last to “the greatest atrocities and abominations.” Keen to regiment the proceedings, the hosts have hired four experienced prostitutes to recount, in the evenings, stories of perversions they’ve encountered (150 each, for a total of 600), which will direct the goings-on inside the retreat. With them is an assemblage of 36 victims - 16 of whom are pubescent boys and girls kidnapped from their families - gathered to be submitted to their captors’ every sexual whim. The plot itself, unlike Ulysses, is fairly straightforward, and carefully structured to allow the author to present a great number of perversions in a clear and comprehensible manner: We are at the end of Louis XIV’s reign, in the early eighteenth century, and four rich French libertines have barricaded themselves for four months inside a castle lost somewhere within the Black Forest. ![]() The 120 Days of Sodom is, by all standards (including the Marquis’ own), the most vile and disturbing book you could ever read, something no Penguin Classics drapery should be able to cover.
