FRANCE-LITERATURE-SADE

French Gerard Lheritier, president and founder of the Institut des Lettres et des Manuscrits and of the Aristophil society poses on April 2, 2014 in Paris. Lheritier has bought and brought back to France the manuscript of "The 120 Days of Sodom" written by the Marquis de Sade while he was imprisoned at the Bastille in 1785, which had previously been owned by a Swiss collector. Sade wrote the manuscript in tiny script on both sides of a sheaf of narrow paper, whose sheets he attached into a single 39-foot-long roll. Fearing that his work would be confiscated, he hid the roll in a crevice in a stone wall of his cell.
