Le Relazioni Pericolose by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos
An epistolary novel that follows two amoral aristocrats—an embittered marquise and a cynical vicomte—who construct a web of seduction, deceit and revenge among the French upper class, using letters to manipulate the innocent Cécile de Volanges and corrupt the devout Madame de Tourvel; their games of passion and power, driven by vanity and spite, lead to humiliation, ruin and a scathing portrait of social hypocrisy and moral decay.
