Dangerous Liaisons
Pierre Choderlos De Laclos, Helen ConstantinePublished just years before the French Revolution, Laclos's great novel of moral and emotional depravity is a disturbing and ultimately damning portrayal of a decadent society
"If this book burns, it burns as only ice can burn.” - Baudelaire
Aristocrats and ex-lovers Marquise de Merteuil and Vicomte de Valmont embark on a sophisticated game of seduction and manipulation to bring amusement to their jaded lives. While Merteuil challenges Valmont to seduce an innocent convent girl, he is also occupied with the conquest of a virtuous married woman.
Eventually, their human pawns respond, and the consequences prove to be more serious - and deadly - than the players could have ever predicted.
"In many respects, Laclos is the perfect author: he wrote, at around the age of 40, one piece of fiction, which was not merely a masterpiece, but the supreme example of its genre, the epistolary novel; and then he troubled the public no further." - Christopher Hampton
