Dangerous connections - Choderlos de Laclos

In 1782, 175 letters unleashed passions. The reason ? Brought together in a novel by Choderlos de Laclos, they plunged the reader into the innermost thoughts of their authors. Among them, two noble libertines. Determined to enjoy life and to make fun of the prudish shortcomings of their time, they collect adventures. The alternation of their voices and those of their victims draw the outlines of a battlefield where their conquests line up. Who will be the winner of this duel? Manipulation, virtuosity, vanity, genius. It’s not the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont who will. It took two booksters and a diptych to pay homage to their epistolary mastery.
