The Curse of the Marquis de Sade

A Notorious Scoundrel, A Mythical Manuscript, and the Biggest Scandal in Literary History

Joel Warner
Joel Warner follows the fate of ‘the gospel of evil’, De Sade’s novel 120 Days of Sodom which scandalized late 18th-century Europe. The tiny scroll on which the Marquis wrote it in the Bastille was subsequently hidden to escape the Nazi book burnings, and disappeared for decades. Then the ‘king of manuscripts’ Gérard Lhéritier claimed to have rediscovered it, only to be engulfed in a scandal involving government vendettas, feuding booksellers and a billion-euro Ponzi scheme.
