French writer of luridly brilliant and depraved pornographic literature. Sade spent most of his life in prison for staging sexual orgies that embraced crimes of sado-masochistic violence. Considered to be an example of the many sexually depraved aristocrats, he managed to escape his jailers and exile himself to Italy. Upon returning to France in 1774, Sade embarked on more escapades. His mother-in-law obtained a lettre de cachet, a royal order for indefinite detention without trial against Sade in 1777. Five years in his 12 1/2 year jail term, he wrote "120 Days of Sodom," a catalogue of sexual perversions, short stories, essays, plays, and the first draft to his novel "Justine." In 1790, Sade was released from jail by orders of Robespierre during the French Revolution. In 1801, when his materials offended Napoleon and his regime, Sade was found to be criminally insane and sent to the Charenton asylum where he died. His name became synonymous with the license of deriving sexual pleasure from inflicting pain.Steinbrecher quotes Richard Rongier for B.R.
