    About this ebook

    Man or Monster? What drove this 18th Century nobleman to pen the works that made the name de Sade forever infamous? His life was a sorry record of imprisonment for the terrible deeds he perpetrated. But what of his books? Revolutionist, gaolbird, sentenced to die--and yet, also a Chief Justice finally deposed by the French Revolution because he was too humane--what was he trying to say to the world? Was he, in embracing all Evil, hopefully testing the power and validity of good? In this brand new biographical analysis of the Marquis de Sade and his works, Here Is The Answer.
