About the book

Pierre Choderlos de Laclos's Les Liaisons Dangereuses is an epistolary novel about seduction, manipulation and revenge among the French aristocracy. The Marquise de Merteuil and Vicomte de Valmont use romantic conquest as a game of power, manipulating those around them through letters and deception. Their schemes gradually create consequences beyond their control, exposing the cruelty and hypocrisy beneath elegant society.
