Dangerous ties. Laclo Sh. De

The novel in the letters “Dangerous Relations” became a real sensation of the French literature of his time - at the end of the 18th century he withstood about fifty reprints, and later was translated into all leading world languages ​​and repeatedly filmed.

Why does this book cause the equally acute interest of readers today? Most likely because the type of the main anti -heroes of the novel is a good, smart secular lioness of the Marquise de Mertie and the cynical seducer Viscount de Valmon, masterfully playing with other people's feelings and fate with the help of lies and pretense - and is now found as often as in the time of Shorelo de Lacco.
