Passion, temptation, revenge, secrets, desires - this is all in 'Dangerous Liaisons.'

France, 18th century. Young Cécile is taken from a convent by her mother to marry her off. And a pair of exquisitely depraved scoundrels - the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont - do everything to carry out their insidious plans. They ruin the young girl's life, disrupting her wedding. They corrupt a married, God-fearing lady, demonstrating their knowledge of all the peculiarities and subtleties of seduction.

A true school of heartbreak. In the preface, the author cites one mother's opinion of the book: 'I would consider myself doing my daughter a favor if I let her read it on her wedding day.'

'Dangerous Liaisons' is a novel published in 1782 in Paris that became the most widely read and the most discussed and scandalous. This masterpiece of world literature has lost none of its poignancy.

In winter 2022, the Sratz series, based on the work, will be released. It will be a prequel to the main story of the novel, the action will revolve around the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, two young lovers who grew up in the slums of Paris and rose to the heights of the French aristocracy.

Pierre Ambroise François Choderlos de Laclos was a French political and military figure who became famous for his novel Dangerous Liaisons (Les Liaisons dangereuses).

He was born on 18 October 1741 in Amiens, into the family of an official—a poor nobleman. His nobility was not ancestral but granted by a royal patent. Lacking both distinguished birth and wealth, he could pursue a career only in the military sphere, which he did. After graduating from artillery school in 1763 with the rank of lieutenant, he was assigned to the garrison at Toul and served in military garrisons.
