薩德侯爵（Marquis de Sade, 1740-1814） 出身法國普羅旺斯的貴族世家，其母有波旁王朝的皇室血統。性虐待一詞（Sadism）的詞源便出自薩德的名字。薩德從三十八歲起到七十四歲病死獄中為止，前後因行為不檢與作品傷風敗俗，被監禁將近二十八個寒暑。最後死於夏宏東精神病患收容所。 薩德生平寫作無數，包括十幾部長篇小說與二十齣戲劇，甚至還有遊記。但是他的作品足足有一百多年是在地下流通，成為禁書。著名的《索多瑪一百二十天》是他一七八五年被關在巴士底監獄時，花三十三天時間謄寫完成，後遺失於法國大革命戰火中，百年後才出土。薩德活著的時代，他被認為是不足道的二流情色小說家。但是到了二十世紀，不但巴代耶（Bataille）讚譽他為「偉大的哥德式作家」，法國詩人阿波利奈爾、超寫實主義詩人德斯諾斯、布荷東、艾呂雅等都盛讚他為超寫實主義大師，特別是性意識...(展开全部)
