| Summary |
"Der Marquis de Sade und seine Zeit" by Iwan Bloch is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the controversial life and literary contributions of the Marquis de Sade, situating him within the context of 18th-century French society and exploring the cultural and moral dynamics of the time. The book is likely to appeal to readers interested in the intersection of history, literature, and the complex nature of sexuality and morality. The opening portion introduces the book's intent to conduct a comprehensive examination of the Marquis de Sade's life, works, and their significance within the broader historical framework of the 18th century. The author proposes a scientific exploration of Sade's contributions and the societal factors that influenced his controversial ideas. It sets the stage for detailed discussions on Sade’s individual psychology and the social psyche of his era, emphasizing the importance of understanding the broader cultural context to grasp Sade's impact on both literature and the social debates surrounding morality and sexuality during the Enlightenment.
