Life becomes far less dull, however, when they start challenging each other at the expense of others. Soon, past lovers get punished, innocent virgins get seduced and virtuous women become adulteresses. All for the sake of the devious entertainment of Valmont and Merteuil.`Dangerous Liaisons‘ is instantly recognizable as the inspiration behind the classic romantic drama `Cruel Intensions‘ (1999) staring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon.

A stunning novel and one of the most controversial in European literature, `Dangerous Liaisons‘ is just as entertaining today as it was when Queen Marie Antoinette famously kept it in her collection.LUST Classics is a collection of erotic literary classics.
