- Summary
- As explicit in his prose as he was in his private life, the Marquis de Sade remains one of the most controversial writers of all time. Arrested many times for sexual misdemeanours, the Marquis de Sade was imprisoned in the Bastille, where he was writing 120 Days of Sodom and The Misfortunes of Virtue at the time that it was stormed in 1789. After the French Revolution he was again imprisoned and sent to an asylum, where he wrote diaries and plays. With the details of his life writ large in gossip sheets and whispered in outraged Parisian salons, de Sade's life story is as unpredictable and scandalous as his ever-popular prose.--From publisher description.
