It was read under the cloak and in the alcoves to better offend its scent of sulfur and its sexual allusions. Composed of 175 letters from a Machiavellian duo of aristocrats - partners then enemies -, the novel, a brilliant treatise on libertinism, intertwines love, revenge and scheming in a refined language. Judged immoral, the book is especially condemned as a corrupter of souls, especially that of young girls. Even more than the Viscount de Valmont, a debauched seducer, the diabolical Marquise de Merteuil stuns and disturbs. A manipulator with a formidable intelligence, this widow and wounded lover, who aspires to the power of men, fights to conquer it in a merciless war of the sexes. See less
