André-Robert Andréa de Nerciat
Nerciat, André-Robert Andréa de (1739-1800). French soldier and traveller, author of poems, plays, and libertine novels which were consigned to the ‘Enfer’ of the Bibliothèque Nationale until Apollinaire resurrected them. They include Le Diable au corps (1786), Les Aphrodites (1793), and the rather more decorous Félicia ou Mes fredaines (1776), a lively first-person narrative whose cheerful eroticism contrasts with the darker works of Laclos and Sade.

André Robert de Nerciat
André Robert de Nerciat (1739, Dijon – 1800) was a French novelist, best known for his novel Le Diable au corps. He was the son of a royal official in Burgundy. He retired from the military in 1775 and worked as a writer of plays, verse, light music and pornographic novels, while also serving as a secret agent of the French government across Europe. He may also have worked as a double agent, as he was arrested by the French when they invaded Naples in 1798.
