Description:
In this special Collector's Edition of the shocking French classic, the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, accomplished rivals in the art of seduction, take the stage again in Ernest Dowson's beautifully polished translation of Laclos's epistolary novel. The elegance of Dowson's prose is stylishly complemented by the sophisticated, coolly erotic etchings of Sylvain Sauvage, originally created for a rare edition published in Paris in 1930. Sauvage's artistry provides an elegant accompaniment for the darkly glittering luxury and decadence of Laclos's masterpiece, which, as Baudelaire once said, "Burns like ice."
