Abstract: In 1938, Maurice Heine gave a radio lecture on Isidore Ducasse, still unpublished, and wrote an article for Minotaure based on it. Was it serendipitous that the specialist scholar and publisher of Sade took on Les Chants de Maldoror? Or was it the fruit of a discovery that motivated his intervention over the airwaves, an unusual mode of dissemination for him? Why did he now arrange this meeting between the Count and the Marquis, and who was the Beautiful Lady, the unnamed woman?
