One of the most `modern' of eighteenth-century novels, Les Liasons
Dangereuses is the brilliantly observed and vividly rendered story
of two libertines and the innocent characters they plot to destroy.
Published in 1782, just years before the French Revolution, Les
Liaisons Dangereuses is a disturbing and ultimately damning
portrayal of a decadent society. At its centre are two aristocrats,
former lovers, who embark on a sophisticated game of seduction and
manipulation to bring amusement to their jaded existences. While
the Marquise de Merteuil challenges the Vicomte de Valmont to
seduce an innocent convent girl, the Vicomte is also occupied with
the conquest of a virtuous married woman. But as their intrigues
become more duplicitous and they find their human pawns responding
in ways they could not have predicted, the consequences prove to be
more serious, and deadly, than Merteuil and Valmont could have
guessed.
