Dangerous Liaisons (Arcturus Classics, 209)
Dangerous Liaisons is an 18th-century epistolary novel composed of a series of letters between its characters. The plot revolves around two amoral aristocrats, the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, who engage in a game of manipulation, seduction, and revenge. By using their wit and charm, they set out to corrupt and ruin the reputations of those around them, specifically targeting the virtuous Madame de Tourvel and the young, innocent Cécile de Volanges. The novel offers a scathing critique of the corruption, decadence, and moral decay of the French nobility in the years leading up to the French Revolution.
