Sadism: How the Marquis de Sade Declared War on the World

His Name Is a Word for Cruelty. His Story Is a War Against the World.

Before "sadism" was a term for a dark human impulse, it was the name of a man: Donatien Alphonse François, the Marquis de Sade. Born into the highest echelons of French royalty and destined for a life of privilege, he chose instead to wage a lifelong war against every form of authority—the Crown, the Church, and the suffocating conventions of his time.

This is not just the story of a monster. It is the immersive, fact-based biography of a man of staggering contradictions.

Inside this biography, you will discover:
