Marquis de Sade
From Spanking Art
Donatien Alphonse-François de Sade (June 2, 1740 – December 2, 1814) (pronounced IPA: [maʁki: dəsad]) was a French aristocrat and writer of philosophy-laden and often violent pornography. He was a philosopher of extreme freedom (or at least licentiousness), unrestrained by morality, religion or law, with the pursuit of personal pleasure being the highest principle.
Sade was incarcerated in various prisons and in an insane asylum for about 32 years of his life—eleven years in Paris (10 of which were spent in the Bastille) a month in Conciergerie, 2 years in a fortress, a year in Madelonnettes, 3 years in Bicêtre, a year in Sainte-Pélagie, 13 years in the Charenton insane asylum—indeed, much of his writing was done during his imprisonment. The term sadism is derived from his name.
