About this ebook
Gefährliche Liebschaften (Les Liaisons dangereuses), ein Briefroman von Pierre-Ambroise-François Choderlos de Laclos, gilt als ein Hauptwerk der französischen Literatur des 18. Jahrhunderts (1782) und Sittengemälde des ausgehenden Ancien régime.?Zur Inhalt: Die intrigante Marquise Isabelle Merteuil schlägt dem Vicomte Sébastien de Valmont vor, die jugendliche Braut ihres früheren Geliebten Gercourt, Cécile de Volanges, noch vor der Hochzeitsnacht zu verführen. Valmont hat wenig Interesse an einer so "leichten Beute". Ihn reizt die spröde, als äußerst tugendhaft bekannte verheiratete Marie de Tourvel, die er so beharrlich, geschickt und vor allem eloquent umwirbt, dass sie sich schließlich tatsächlich in ihn verliebt. Gleichzeitig erfüllt Valmont aber auch Mme. Merteuils Wunsch nach Rache an dem ehemaligen Geliebten, indem er dessen Braut Cécile nicht nur entjungfert, sondern sogar schwängert. Denn Mme. Merteuil hat ihm als Belohnung dafür eine Liebesnacht versprochen.

About the author
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.
