De markies de Sade : een portret uit brieven en documenten (1967) is a biographical book by Dutch author Gemma Pappot on the life of Marquis de Sade, via his letters from prison. It points to the humorous correspondance with his valet La Jeunesse, the beheading of his printer Girouard, Gaufridy's laziness, and Sade's belief in numerology and his delusional apophenia.
Sade quotes Solon: "Laws are like spiders' webs which, if anything small falls into them they ensnare it, but large things break through and escape".
