First appearing in 1782, Dangerous Liaisons is one of the most scandalous and controversial novels in European literature. The plot unfolds through a series of letters as the two main protagonists, the Vicomte de Valmont and the Marquise de Merteuil, attempt to bring about the seduction of a young woman.

The epistolary nature of the novel gives a multi-faceted perspective of the action, which places the book firmly in the tradition of libertine literature. The notoriety that the novel achieved on its initial publication has ensured its continued popularity, with its wit and style appealing to audiences up to the present day.

Absolutely divine!

This is the absolute best performance of this amazing book that I’ve listened to! I didn’t want it to end!

Excruciatingly good

This is a crazy story but riveting! Did you know the author was a soldier who wrote this book to reveal the debauchery of the aristocracy and then, within 10 years of its publication, participated in the revolution to overthrow the lot of them!? Book is great - movie is excellent, too.
