''Aline et Valcour; ou, Le Roman philosophique'' is an epistolary novel by the Marquis de Sade. It contrasts a brutal African kingdom with a South Pacific island paradise known as Tamoé and led by the philosopher-king Zamé. Sade wrote the book while incarcerated in the Bastille in the 1780s. Published in 1795, it was the first of Sade's books published under his true name. ==Bibliography== The book was translated into English, German, Spanish and Japanese. An English version can be found in ''Selected writings of De Sade'' (New York 1954), translated by Leonard de Saint-Yves. An essay titled "Observations on Aline and Valcour" by Alice Laborde appeared in the collection ''Sade, his ethics and rhetoric'' by Colette Verger Michael, New York 1989. ''Blank darkness: Africanist discourse in French'' by Christopher L Miller (Chicago 1985) contains a chapter titled "No one's novel: Sade's Aline et Valcour". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aline and Valcour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
