A NOTE ABOUT THIS RECORDING:
The script for this recording is freely translated from the French, necessarily abridged heavily, but not expurgated; in fact this dramatic reading is more frank and modern in its presentation of the saga of Justine than many printed volumes claiming to be " complete. " Justine was recorded privately and read by a distinguished repertory company.
