About Marquis de Sade
Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade, born in Paris in 1740, was a French nobleman, revolutionary politician, philosopher, and writer. He is internationally known for his explicit erotic works, which combined libertine fiction with radical philosophical reflections on materialism, morality, and religion. Sade spent roughly thirty-two years of his life imprisoned in various fortresses and asylums, including the Bastille and Charenton, due to sexual scandals and the provocative nature of his writings. During the French Revolution, he briefly engaged in political life, serving as an elected delegate to the National Convention and aligning himself with revolutionary factions. His most famous works include Justine, The 120 Days of Sodom, and Philosophy in the Bedroom. Sade's literary legacy remains influential and contentious, exploring the extreme boundaries of human behavior and giving rise to the psychological term sadism. He died in Charenton Asylum in 1814 at the age of seventy-four.
