A little bit about Sade, Marquis De

Donatien Alphonse Franois de Sade, better known as the Marquis de Sade and nicknamed the Divine Marquis (June 2, 1740 December 2, 1814), was a French aristocrat and writer of philosophy-laden and often violent pornography, as well as some strictly philosophical works.

Much of his writing was done during the 29 years he was incarcerated. · Can we improve this biography? Post your version
