The Marquis de Sade: A Figure of Controversy

Written in 1785 while the Marquis de Sade was imprisoned in the Bastille, The 120 Days of Sodom (originally Les 120 Journées de Sodome ) was composed on a single, continuous scroll of paper 12 meters long. Sade hid the scroll in the wall of his cell to prevent its destruction.

De Sade's writing often explores the darker aspects of human nature, and his works frequently feature themes of desire, power, and the transgression of social norms. His most famous works include "Justine," "Juliette," and, of course, "The 120 Days of Sodom."
