Book Reviews of Les Liaisons Dangereuses
Book Review: Slight caveat
Summary: 5 Stars
It should be noted that there is a 1985 PLAY version, not an edition of the French novel (oops). If, like me, you wandered in looking for the novel, wander back out and search under Laclos and get an edition not coauthored by someone named Hampton. That said, it's a good play by a good playwright, and I rather liked the movie made from it. Just be careful about which book you buy, since they all seem to share a common pool of reviews.
Summary of Les Liaisons Dangereuses
The scandalous reputation of Laclos's novel, first published in 1782, is based on its chilling portrayal of the mannered decadence and sexual cynicism of the French aristocracy in the last years of the ancien regime.
Christopher Hampton has made a masterful adaptation for the stage of the conspiracy to corrupt a young girl barely out of her convent.
