Dangerous Liaisons

This is a 240 year old book about the luxurious lifestyles of people with nothing better to do then practice persuasion and seduction. The story is presented through the perspectives of letters. This is a book that will leave an impression and probably improve ones emotional intelligence.

The ending was not as clever as I expected it to be.

This book was part of the reference material for Robert Greene masterpiece The art of seduction. Dangerous laison offer skin deep inside into human emotion, exploring the theme of how far is in the game of love and is it all worth it in the end.

Livre arrivé en excellent état et dans les temps.Agréable en mains même si format un peu grand. La version anglaise est assez fidèle à l'originale même si, de par la langue, on perd beaucoup de construction et de tournures de phrases.

Shocking! Scandalous! An outrage to public decency! This book must have caused quite a stir when it was first printed in the late 1700's. Sexual innuendo leaps from the pages of this beautifully written epistolary novel. De Laclos certainly accomplished what he set out to do, to create a work that would last long after his death.The Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont are two of the most devious minded characters I've ever had the pleasure to be disgusted by. Seriously. Still, I had to admire their dedication. They want revenge and will stop at nothing to get it. They know what they are doing and they do it well.I thoroughly savored every page of Dangerous Liaisons. The wit and wickedness will be on my mind for a long time to come.
