Published in 1782, just years before the French Revolution, Les Liaisons
Dangereuses is a disturbing and ultimately damning portrayal of a decadent
society. At its centre are two aristocrats, former lovers, who embark on a
sophisticated game of seduction and manipulation to bring amusement to their
jaded existences. While the Marquise de Merteuil challenges the Vicomte de
Valmont to seduce an innocent convent girl, the Vicomte is also occupied with
the conquest of a virtuous married woman. But as their intrigues become more
duplicitous and they find their human pawns responding in ways they could not
have predicted, the consequences prove to be more serious, and deadly, than
Merteuil and Valmont could have guessed.
