By Christopher Hampton

In the glittering world of 18th-century French aristocracy, security is an illusion, seduction is a weapon, and betrayal is inevitable. Former lovers turned ruthless conspirators, the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont play a dangerous game of desire and deception. But a shift in balance causes their carefully constructed façade begin to crack, exposing the brutal cost of power. Les Liaisons Dangereuses is a gripping exploration of a world where status is everything—and losing it is deadly.
