<p>In this famous story of seduction, two highly intelligent but amoral French aristocrats plot the downfall of a respectable young married woman and a fifteen year old girl who has only just emerged from the convent. The letters these two conspirators exchange are remarkably frank in describing how they manage to achieve their ends and, at the same time, reveal nuances of character which make it impossible to dismiss either of them as simply evil. Those written by their victims are equally revelatory in a quite different and subtle way, while the manner in which Laclos handles the epistolary form in order to ensure that his two protagonists are finally defeated, not by outside forces, but the fissures in their own relationship, is a triumph of narrative skill. This novel poses shrewd questions about the relation between love and sex, and suggests that, in certain sections of eighteenth century French high society, idleness, boredom and wealth had created individuals whose misfortunes it would be hard to regret when, only seven years after Dangerous Liaisons was published, the Revolution broke out.

Les Liaisons dangereuses est un roman épistolaire écrit par Pierre Choderlos de Laclos en 1782. Cette œuvre littéraire majeure du XVIIIe siècle, qui narre le duel pervers et libertin de deux membres de la noblesse française du siècle des Lumières, est considérée comme un chef d’œuvre de la littérature française.La marquise de Merteuil et le vicomte de Valmont, qui furent amants par le passé, se jouent de la société pudibonde et privilégiée dans laquelle ils vivent. Se livrant à la débauche, ils ne cessent, tout au long du livre, de se narrer leurs exploits au travers des lettres qu’ils s’envoient et qui constituent le corps de l’intrigue. Mais, pour rivaux qu’ils soient, ils n’en sont pas pour autant à égalité. Le vicomte de Valmont est un homme et, à ce titre, il peut être le libertin flamboyant qu’il est, au grand jour et sans retenue. Les lettres qu’il écrit à la marquise de Merteuil ne sont que le récit de ses aventures. [Kindle]
