Dangerous Liaisons | Choderlos De Laclos

Merteuil and Valmont weave increasingly elaborate schemes and affairs as they each compete for the others approval. The letters reveal so much personality but you never know if you can trust the authors‘ intentions as the stakes and consequences become increasingly severe. 8/10

I had seen some adaptations (like cruel intentions) so knew the gist of the story, but it still threw in some surprises at the end!

Two former lovers make sport of seduction. From seducing a virtuous married woman, getting a man sent to jail, and between them working to ruin a young woman before her marriage to exact revenge on the would be groom. This epistolary novel is full of seduction, scheming, revenge, and superfluous expressions of love.

This book is amazing! It makes me laugh so hard and at the same time I'm getting so into the characters - they are all impossibly cute, even when they are supposed to be repulsive or stupid! 😍
The 1988th movie is gorgeous, the cast is perfect. Malkovich and Glenn Close have so much chemistry between them ❤️ Keanu Reeves and Uma Thurman are so young and lovely 💔

This used to be one of my favorite movies, but I watch it recently, for the first time in like 10 years, and I didn't find it quite as enjoyable. Seemed more melodramatic than I remembered.

#Liaisons is another episode I had to go back and watch again because it didn't ring any bells with me. It was interesting, a nice cultural exchange. However, Picard and Anna's storyline was fairly predictable.

#StarTrekSummerMay #Liaisons @Megabooks

Megabooks And I felt they pretty much revisited the Picard part in VOY season 5 episode 13, Gravity. I didn‘t particularly enjoy that storyline in the TNG episode nor in the VOY one. I thought Troi getting sick of chocolate was a little amusing. 😝 5y

TNG 7.02 #Liaisons, or as I call it, the rapey episode. 3 alien “diplomats“ go on an expedition onto the Enterprise to experience emotions. №1 focusses on Troy and desserts (creepy), №2 focusses on anger and Worf (creepy) and №3 transforms into a female to trap and seduce Picard (CREEPY AND TRIGGERY). And they get away with it because 'they didn't know better'. I hate this episode so much. Titled after tagged, of course.

#startreksummermay #day8

Megabooks It is pretty creepy! That dude was OBSESSED with deserts. If Troi is sick of chocolate, that‘s bad!!! 5y

This is high intrigue, deception, envy, jealousy, manipulation, innocence lost, love lost at its best. One of my favorite parts is "Ce n'est pas de ma faute" letter. I still get shivers hearing John Malkovich acting this out in the movie. This is my ultimate epistolary novel. #emojinov ?

#TBRtemptation post 8! #PhillyMeetUp edition! A @valerieandbooks pick! Since this came out in 1782, it's not a recent release 😆👏🏻. It's considered one of the most scandalous and controversial novels in European literature. Vicomte de Valmont and Marquise de Marteuil form an unholy alliance and turn seduction into a game, a game to win at all costs. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

CocoReads I love that book. It's very devious and malicious. I've been meaning to reread it. 7y
MicheleinPhilly @ValerieAndBooks No lie: When I saw that table and read "All classics $5" I purposely made my eyes glaze over and quickly moved on. Too much temptation! 7y
ValerieAndBooks @CocoReads I still have my mass-market of this from 25 years ago! Always wanted to re-read but as time passed by knew I'd want a larger print copy to read from. Couldn't resist at just $5 😊! 7y

4 stars from me I really enjoyed this novel of self destruction and destruction of society's values from within.

Yes it is melodramatic and over the top and yes the main characters are unlikeable but that just makes them great villains.

I really enjoyed the epistolary form with no actual narrative other than the letters, I also like the footnotes suggesting

Hobbinol Ha! My French vocabulary has evaporated over the years and now it makes my brain hurt. My copy is in English too. I meant only that I have a whole TBR shelf devoted to French lit. Sometimes I purchase books in French with English notes, but they're very hard to come by. I rarely have the opportunity to speak French in NC; in fact, it's the most unfrench place I've ever been. The colonial government even turned away a boatload of your Acadians! 7y
