How dangerous is love after all? Is it a game of strategy, tactics, total attack or closed defense? How well can we play this game and avoid the dangers when the fiery passion, the desperate need and the boiling desire reign? And what can we learn about ourselves if we give ourselves completely to passion?
Dangerous Relationships, the classic masterpiece of Sonderlo de Laclo, was published in the spring of 1782 in a France that was underground preparing for a colossal political, social, and finally philosophical overthrow. Their aristocratic heroes are mortally wounded in their wretched lives, indulging in a relentless pursuit of heart and flesh, unaware that they are living the twilight of their prosperity.
Today's reader will find in this magnificent work something of himself, his unacknowledged desires and occult fears, "traveling" at the same time to the disturbingly stagnant, exotic to us today, atmosphere of pre-revolutionary France.
The fascination of reading is not limited to the amazing descriptions, the twists in the plot and the penetrating silhouettes of the characters but also to the identification that comes every now and then with the passions and desires.
This, after all, is the magic of the genuine classic.
