Originally published in French as " Justine, ou les malheurs de la vertu" in 1791, "Justine" (in full " Justine; or, The Misfortunes of Virtue") is an erotic novel by the Marquis de Sade. The novel is the tale of two orphaned sisters who are banished from a convent. Justine and Juliette travel to London with the hope of finding fortune and fame. Once they are in the city, the two sisters go their separate ways.
In de Sade’s philosophy, God is evil, wickedness is the source of human activity, and the misfortunes suffered by the heroine result from her failure to recognize these truths. By contrast Justine’s sister Juliette delights in evil and therefore thrives in the sequel, " Juliette, ou Les Prospérités du vice."
