著者について
Pierre Choderlos de Laclos (1741–1803) was a French officer and novelist, most renowned for his epistolary novel, 'Dangerous Liaisons' (1782), a masterful exploration of the decadence of the French aristocracy before the Revolution. Born in Amiens, Laclos pursued a military career before venturing into writing. While his literary output was limited, 'Dangerous Liaisons' had an immediate and scandalous success, becoming a seminal work in French literature. The novel's portrayal of manipulative liaisons and moral cynicism was groundbreaking, and it remains a standard against which tales of psychological intrigue and societal critique are measured. While known principally for this singular work, Laclos's influence extends to his adept use of the epistolary form, commanding narrative structure, and deft character development. His exploration of themes such as libertinism, power dynamics, and the role of women in society provided a prescient analysis of changing social mores. Despite the infamy and the moral outrage it provoked, 'Dangerous Liaisons' continues to captivate scholars and readers alike, inviting ongoing interpretations and adaptations across various media. Laclos's sharp insight into human nature and his critique of aristocratic frivolity offer a grim foreshadowing of the impending revolution. His legacy, encompassed largely by this single novel, persists as a touchstone for those examining the complexities of power, seduction, and morality.
