Aline et Valcour; ou, Le roman philosophique; écrit à la Bastille, un an avant la Révolution de France, by the Marquis de Sade, is a compelling philosophical novel written on the eve of the French Revolution.

Written in an epistolary style, the novel offers a critical examination of societal norms and political power.
