the world and continue to do after I had gone from it.a (TM) -
Choderlos de Laclos
A great sensation at the time of first publication, Les Liaisons
Dangereuses reads as much the most 'modern' of eighteenth-century
novels. Viewed by some critics as a morality tale and others as a
subtle inquiry into libertinism, it brilliantly depicts the foibles
of the French aristocracy on the eve of the French Revolution.
Renowned for its exploration of lust, revenge and human malice, and
still carrying a tremendous power to shock, its adaptations for
screen and stage have made its central characters notorious for
their sophisticated and ultimately tragic games of seduction and
manipulation.
