Annie Le Brun: Suddenly the Boulder of the Abyss, Sade
In the parade of characters who saw off the modern era, there is perhaps no more famous stranger than the Marquis de Sade. It is to the credit of the term sadism that it added to cruelty the awareness of itself as a pleasure in torture. The Marquis de Sade became a privileged subject of research by some of the most important modern French essayists such as Bataille, Blanchot, Klossovski, Barthes.
