The 120 Days of Sodom - Hardcover

Sade, Marquis de: - The Marquis de Sade (Donatien Alphonse François de Sade, 1740-1814) was a French writer and philosopher whose works explored themes of freedom, authority, and the limits of moral convention. Much of his writing was produced during periods of imprisonment, and his name has become synonymous with extreme forms of literary transgression. Despite-or because of-its controversial nature, his work has been studied within philosophy, literature, and cultural history as an examination of the boundaries of Enlightenment thought.
