'''Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade''' (2 June 1740 - 2 December 1814) was a French nobleman, politician and author most famous for his quasi-erotic novels ''Justine'' and ''The 120 Days of Sodom''. Although he surprisingly has a number of admirers today, de Sade was an extreme sexual deviant whose name was given to the phrases ''sadism'', ''sadist'' and, together with Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, ''sadomasochism''.

Line 23:

While imprisoned in the Bastille, de Sade wrote ''120 Days of Sodom''. He later shouted to crowds gathered outside that "They are killing the prisoners!", causing a riot and ultimately leading to the Storming of the Bastille (although de Sade had been sent to another prison by this point). He was eventually released in 1790 after the [[French Revolution]] eliminated the monarchy.

Despite his aristocratic background, de Sade was initially successful during the revolutionary government. However, he later became more critical of [[Maximilien Robespierre]] and was imprisoned until the revolutionary government was overthrown. He was later imprisoned for the final time in 1801 for blasphemy and publishing obscene literature at the direct order of [[Napoleon Bonaparte]]. While imprisoned he was declared insane and sent to Charenton asylum. After it was revealed that he was continuing an affair with a 14-year-old girl, he was placed in solitary confinement until his death in 1814.
