Description:

This Turkish edition of Justine, or the Misfortunes of Virtue (Erdemle Kırbaçlanan Kadın) by Marquis de Sade was published by Oğlak Yayınları in 2011. Printed in Turkish, the novel is one of de Sade's best-known and most controversial works, combining philosophical fiction with a radical critique of morality, religion, and social order.

The story follows the virtuous Justine, whose unwavering commitment to honesty and moral integrity repeatedly exposes her to exploitation, suffering, and injustice. Through her misfortunes, de Sade challenges conventional notions of virtue and vice, questioning whether morality is truly rewarded in society. The novel serves as both a philosophical provocation and a critique of the moral and religious institutions of eighteenth-century Europe.

Themes such as virtue, morality, justice, freedom, hypocrisy, and human nature appear throughout the work. Justine remains one of the most debated works in French literature for its philosophical arguments and its enduring influence on discussions of ethics, literature, and the limits of individual freedom.
