Opis

Aristocrat Marquis de Sade (1740-1814) remains a man whose name is instantly recognized but whose life is obscure. For all his reputation for monstrous behavior, he was loved by women, fearless in defense of justice, and prolific in his literary output. In this illuminating biography, Donald Thomas places the man in perspective against the turbulence of his time during the French Revolution.
