Dangerous Liaisons
by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
“In the ultimate game of seduction, the only rule is never to fall in love.”
In the decadent salons of 18th-century France, two bored aristocrats wage a ruthless war of seduction using letters as their primary weapons. This chillingly elegant masterpiece exposes the dark side of high society, where reputations are destroyed for sport and passion is merely a tool for power.
