Rent Les Liaisons dangereuses (Oxford World's Classics)

Synopsis

First published in 1782, 'Les Liasons Dangereuses' was then a best-seller despite the scandal it incurred upon members of the French aristocracy, exposing as it did the endless debauchery and degeneracy that went on behind the facade of manners and mores. The Vicomte de Valmont and the Marquise de Merteuil, a cynical pair of ex-lovers, take on the task of destroying a young betrothed couple. Valmont seduces the bride-to-be, while Madame de Merteuil seduces her fiance in a merciless game of one-upmanship.
