  Pierre Choderlos de Laclos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pierre Ambroise François Choderlos de Laclos, a French official and army general, was born on October 18, 1741 in Amiens, France and died in Taranto, Italy on September 5, 1803.
He is most famously remembered for his epistolary novel, Les Liaisons dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons), a classic celebrated for its exploration of seduction, revenge, and human malice, although the author meant it primarily to reflect, through its principal characters, the reprehensible state of eighteenth-century French female education and its moral consequences.
Laclos died in the former convent of Saint Francis in Taranto, but following the demise of Napoleon Bonaparte the locals destroyed his burial tomb and it is believed that his bones were tossed into the sea.

 Les Liaisons dangereuses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is the story of the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, two rivals who use sex as a weapon to humiliate and degrade others, all the while enjoying their cruel games.
The Vicomte de Valmont is determined to seduce the virtuous (and married) Madame de Tourvel, who is living with Valmont's aunt while Monsieur de Tourvel is away for a court case.
At the same time, the Marquise de Merteuil is determined to corrupt the young Cécile de Volanges, whose mother has only recently brought her out of a convent to be married to a former lover of Merteuil.

Pierre-Ambroise-François Choderlos de Laclos was born in Amiens on 18 October 1741.
In January 1760 Laclos became a pupil of the Royal Corps of Artillery and two years later, as a second lieutenant, was posted to the port of La Rochelle.
After miscellaneous activities in the succeeding years, Laclos was appointed an artillery general in 1800, and fulfilled various military functions before dying on 5 September 1803 in Italy.

Laclos' story of evil and depravity, starring a pair of jaded aristocrats so satanic we wonder if they have a human bone in their bodies, is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, novels of the 18th century.
The Marquise de Merteuil, married and widowed too young, has combined shrewd intelligence with appalling powers of deception to engage a string of lovers whom she uses and casts off at random.
Laclos seems to know exactly how to pace and order the letters to maintain maximum interest and suspense from the beginning right through to the very end allowing the story to unfold at exactly the right moment.

Von einer grundlegenden Abneigung gegen den Adel kann aber nicht die Rede sein, da Laclos nach der Revolution in Pamphleten für eine konstitutionelle Monarchie plädierte, was ihn beinahe den Kopf gekostet hätte.

I found the machinations of the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont entertaining (and so did a friend of mine) – they did not morally outrage me. It’s a great piece of literature.
It's written incredibly well, the way Laclos manages to create a different style of writing for each character is amazing, and I was absolutely devastated at the end-I won't tell you why you'll just have to read it to find out.
If Richard wants to write a book on Laclos and get his point of view across then he should do it and not spoil what is an otherwise brilliant and captivating read.

De lettre en lettre, les héros dévoilent leurs aventures, échangent leurs impressions et nous entraînent dans un tourbillon de plaisirs qui semble n'avoir pas de fin.
When I read Choderlos de Laclos' 1782 novel, "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" (which retains its French title in the 1961 English translation by P W K Stone), I found myself amazed and thrilled by its absolute excellence of execution.
Some of its appeal to a sophisticated (or at least blasé) modern audience is, I believe, the multi-layered cynicism of its vainglorious but not unattractive main characters and rivals, the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte (viscount) de Valmont, a reminder that profound deceit is not the sole prerogative of the post-industrial era.

If there's a fault, it's that while the original evokes a compelling sexuality at the same time that it evokes revulsion, the audio actors aren't equally adept at such a delicate balance.
In their secret letters to each other, the unscupulous yet seductive Valmont, his clever, manipulative accomplice, the Marquise de Merteuil, and their various innocent victims, involve listeners in the machinations of a tragic, sadistic plot.
