The February 2015 issue of Smithsonian includes a fascinating (imho) look at the Marquis de Sade, covering both biographical details and his influence on art and culture. I enjoyed reading it and thought others might too.
I found it to be an interesting read as well, DC. Thank you. It's very interesting to me the things people were sent to an asylum for back in the day. I couldn't imagine living in such a time.
