1879г., доблестные британские войска под предводительством лорда Челмсфорда продвигаются по Южной Африке, чтобы «раз и навсегда уладить зулусский вопрос». Король зулусов Кечвайо считает англичан своими союзниками, их вторжение на земли зулусов — полная неожиданность для африканцев.
И тогда зулусы нападают на крупное британское соединение в 1500 человек и разбивают его, кровопролитное сражение стоило жизни почти всем английским солдатам.

Правдивое резюме судьбы Луи Альфонса Донасьена, более известного как маркиз де Сад. Маркиз, находясь в заточении, вспоминает свое прошлое - как оно было в реальности и каким оно могло быть в воображаемых фэнтези-пьесах. На протяжении всей его жизни маркиза мучит призрак злодея-дяди, аббата де Сада. Воспитанный дядей с раннего возраста в духе сексуальной распущенности и жестокости, Луи по недоразумению женится на некрасивой, но преданной Рене де Монтрей, которую опекает её властная мать, полагая, что женится на её младшей, небесно красивой сестре Анне.

Частный самолет терпит крушение в песках Калахари, рейс нигде не зарегистрирован, искать никто не будет. Их осталось шестеро: пятеро мужчин и одна женщина. Они стояли вокруг завернутого в одеяло тела, согретые теплом раннего утра. Когда самолет разбился — это произошло накануне, — пострадал только Детьенс. Прежде они не были знакомы ни с ним, ни между собой, но его агония сблизила их, и теперь им казалось, что они знают друг друга очень давно... Пустыня покажет, кто на что способен и вытащит наружу все самое гадкое в них, и самое прекрасное — любовь! Каждый сделает свой выбор!
