A detailed, analytical study of the life and times of this brilliant but bizarre personality (and the sexually erotic times he lived in), containing the essence of all his writings, based on research by Bloch in private archives of the French Government, and Bloch's discovery of de Sade's unpublished manuscript of 120 Days of Sodom in Marseilles. The work contains a precis of the 120 Days of Sodom, the first attempt systematically to catalog and describe abnormal sexual behavior -- 100 years before Krafft-Ebing. A serious academic study of France during de Sade's time, its sexual morality, de Sade's works, and the role of sadism in literature, etc., this biography precedes de Beauvoir's Faut-il Brule de Sade? and began the resuscitation and modern study of De Sade. The author Iwan Bloch, a German physician, won a distinguished name in the world of science in the fields, of medical history and anthropology.

Even those whose knowledge of De Sade is limited to knowing that the word 'sadism' is derived from his name, or perhaps have been introduced to some of the practices associated with that word through reading the EL James book 'Fifty Shades of Grey', may wonder who the heck was this French guy anyway? And still a controversial figure even 200 years after he died! Well, here is a brilliant introduction; a fascinating biographical and historical account of his life, his work and the times he lived in—written by the man who coined the word 'sadism'; his first biographer Dr Ivan Bloch.Now published for the first time for Kindle, 'Marquis de Sade: The Man And His Age', explores in detail the core themes and prevailing cultural climate of France in the eighteenth century. De Sade was an aristocrat, philosopher and politician, as well as a writer of 'extreme' pornography. He was born in 1740 and lived through the most tumultuous period in French history—the end of the 200-year-old Bourbon monarchy under Louis XVI, during the revolutionary years, through to the meteoric rise of Napoleon in the new republican era.As a point in time, 'The Enlightenment' or 'Age of Reason' the period roughly between 1600-1800, was a collision of the old world religious order, pitched up against a new world of Newtonian physics and other profound scientific discoveries which introduced new perspectives on nature and man's place within it, challenging the very idea of faith, religion and intolerance in society, as represented by the Catholic Church—which he despised.This shift towards a more secular society gave the avowed atheist De Sade, an opportunity to rewrite the rulebook to suit him self. His logic was that if there wasn't a God, there was no justification for setting any limitations on human actions, thus legitimising all forms of sexual experimentation. De Sade was in this sense an example of 'Enlightenment' philosophy taken to its absolute extreme, advocating total freedom and recognising pleasure alone as the goal of life. He rejected private property, morality, religion, laws and authority because he believed they were the opposite of what true freedom was all about; a devotion to the pursuit of pleasure—for its own sake.Still a controversial figure, his works have been banned at some point by many governments and leaders across the world—fearful of what they all perceived would be the toxic effect his writings would have on 'their' masses. Even eminent contemporary Rousseau warned that 'Justine', would damn any girl who read but a single page, while he was hailed by Apollinaire as “the freest spirit that has ever lived.”Dr Bloch reveals with gripping detail the debaucheries, prostitution, pornography, perversity, crime and punishment of a France then awash with a coruscating amorality—a monarchy so corrupt and self serving it almost single-handedly bankrupted the country; a clergy that was lining it's pockets and engaging in the very 'unholy' sexual practices it purported to be against; and how Sade disseminated and satirized these events in his books, plays and writings, including 'Justine', 'Juliette' and 'Philosophy In The Boudoir.'From eye witness accounts of public executions to the most outrageous of Bacchanalian orgies, it is an unflinchingly depictive account of his life and times and (be warned!) will undoubtedly be, in parts an uncomfortable read for many because of the shocking level of detail it contains. Dr Bloch explains the satires and references the 'real life' scenarios his writings were alluding to—those he was attacking. Through the quickly circulated pamphlets and books and the subsequent public notoriety he gained in the process, his mockery of the monarchy and the church made him into an unlikely hero of the radical left and other critics of the Ancien Régime.Claimed as a precursor to Freud, The Surrealists, Baudelaire, The Existentialists, Nietzsche and Stimer, even today his influence ever pervasive.

A wholly original, compellingly human portrait of the "divine Marquis," the enigmatic legend whose name is synonymous with brutal perversion and desirous cruelty. Against a magnificently embroidered backdrop of eighteenth-century France, Neil Schaeffer reconstructs the almost incredible adventures of Donatien-Alphonse-Francois de Sade. When he was a young man, married off against his wishes to a middle-class heiress, his insatiable sexual appetites and disdain for all forms of convention drew him into a series of scandals, first with prostitutes and then with his sister-in-law. His enraged, social-climbing mother-in-law conspired with the authorities, and the result was Sade's thirteen-year imprisonment without trial. Later, freed by the Revolution, the brilliantly protean Marquis became a revolutionary leader himself and then narrowly escaped the guillotine. But with the publication of the novels he wrote behind bars, books denounced as lewd and blasphemous, he was again imprisoned. Under Napoleon, Sade spent almost twelve years in an insane asylum, where he died at the age of seventy-four following a final dalliance with a teenage girl. Schaeffer reveals the surprisingly unsadistic Sade: his capacity for deep romantic love, his passionate adherence to Enlightenment principles, his inexhaustible charm, his delusional paranoia. And through a dazzling reading of his novels, including the notorious masterpiece 120 Days of Sodom, he argues powerfully for Sade as one of the great literary imaginations of the eighteenth century, one who maintained a lifelong, ultimately self-destructive argument against the limitations of authority and morality. Based on a decade of research, TheMarquis de Sade is a definitive work that shatters nearly two hundred years of myth to reveal an irresistible Promethean figure of astonishing complexity.
