«Sade, marquis de l'ombre, prince des Lumières» is the essay by Gonzague Saint Bris and Marie-Claire Doumerg-Grellier on the Marquis de Sade, published by Flammarion in hardcover (176 pages, in French).
The book stems from the eponymous exhibition held in Paris between 2014 and 2015 and examines the figure of Sade beyond the black legend: it traces the various forms of libertinism, of the mind and of customs, from the eighteenth century to Surrealism and Existentialism, and includes a florilegium of letters by the marquis himself.
A collective work featuring contributions by Jean-Pierre Guéno and Gérard Lhéritier, with bibliographic references on pages 172-173.
