Book description

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.

Why read it?

1 author picked Les Liaisons Dangereuses as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

You've seen the film, or one of the film versions. The book is even more darkly tragi-comical, and the psychological penetration is astounding for an author writing well over 200 years ago. Witty, sophisticated, and despite all the wickedness, surprisingly moral.
