Donatien Alphonse François de Sade
Donatien Alphonse François de Sade, o marquês de Sade, foi um aristocrata francês e escritor libertino. Muitas das suas obras foram escritas enquanto estava em um hospício, encarcerado por ordem de Napoleão Bonaparte, que se sentiu ofendido com uma sátira que o Marquês lhe escrevera. De seu nome surge o termo médico sadismo, que define a perversão sexual de ter prazer na dor física ou moral do parceiro ou parceiros. Foi perseguido tanto pela monarquia (Antigo Regime) como pelos revolucionários vitoriosos de 1789 e depois por Napoleão.
