Dangerous Connections V1-V2: A Series Of Letters, Selected From The Correspondence Of A Private Circle And Published For The Instruction Of Society (1

Dangerous Connections is a two-volume novel by Choderlos De Laclos, originally published in 1812. The novel is presented as a series of letters between members of a private circle, and is intended to be read as a cautionary tale for society. The story revolves around the manipulations and seductions of the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, two former lovers who engage in a game of sexual conquests and power plays. The letters reveal the intricate plots and schemes of the characters as they seek to gain advantage over one another, with disastrous consequences for those who become entangled in their web of deceit. The novel is a scathing critique of the aristocratic society of 18th century France, and its themes of love, sex, power, and betrayal continue to resonate with readers today.In Four Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
