Brief Lives: Marquis De Sade, Paperback / softback Book

Brief Lives: Marquis De Sade Paperback / softback

Part of the Brief Lives series

Paperback / softback

Item not Available

Description

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.
