Sobre aquest llibre
It is the story of the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, two narcissistic rivals (and ex-lovers) who use seduction as a weapon to socially control and exploit others, all the while enjoying their cruel games and boasting about their talent for manipulation. It has been seen as depicting the corruption and depravity of the French nobility shortly before the French Revolution, and thereby attacking the Ancien Régime.
Sobre l'autor
Pierre Choderlos de Laclos (1741-1803) was a French novelist, army general, and libertine whose life and work epitomize the tumultuous spirit of pre-revolutionary France. Born into a bourgeois family, Laclos initially pursued a military career, but his true passion lay in literature and the exploration of human nature's darker facets. His most famous work, a scandalous epistolary novel, shocked and fascinated the French aristocracy with its unflinching portrayal of manipulation and moral decay.Laclos's literary contributions extend beyond his infamous novel; he was a keen observer of social mores and a critic of the aristocratic decadence that he believed was leading France to ruin. His writing style, characterized by its sharp wit and psychological depth, influenced contemporary and later writers, including the likes of Baudelaire and Proust.A man of contradictions, Laclos was both a product and a critic of his time. He served in the military with distinction, yet he also supported revolutionary ideas that sought to upend the very structures he was part of. His involvement with the French Revolution and his association with figures like the Duke of Orléans placed him at the heart of one of history's most transformative periods.Laclos's life was marked by controversy, not least due to his provocative literary works and his political activities. His exploration of power dynamics, gender relations, and the corrupting influence of societal norms remains relevant, offering modern readers a window into the complexities of human behavior and the enduring struggle for authenticity in a world rife with deception.
