Synopsis "Las Amistades Peligrosas (in Spanish)"

Novela escrita en 1782, cuando aún nada hacía presagiar la inminencia del fin del Antiguo Régimen y el estallido de la Revolución en Francia, LAS AMISTADES PELIGROSAS es una de las cumbres de la literatura europea del siglo xviii. Sirviéndose con maestría del género epistolar, en ella Pierre CHODERLOS DE LACLOS (1741-1803) relata una historia de perversión, celos y sentimientos encontrados en la que sobresalen los amorales personajes del vizconde de Valmont y la marquesa de Merteuil, quienes utilizan la pulsión amorosa como medio de manipulación del prójimo y satisfacción de su amor propio. El trágico final de los protagonistas no lleva aparejado, contra lo que pudiera parecer, un carácter moralizante en la obra, cuya perfección estructural y deslumbrante sutileza a la hora de cincelar los personajes la erigen en precursora indiscutible de la gran narrativa francesa del siglo xix.(*CR*)

Pierre Ambroise Choderlos de Laclos (Amiens, October 18, 1741; Taranto, 1803) was a writer and officer in the French army. He was born into a family that had recently ascended to nobility and entered the artillery school of La Fére. After cultivating poetry and writing some opera librettos, in 1782 he published Dangerous Liaisons, or Letters collected in a social circle and published for the instruction of some others, a work that launched him to literary fame. Following the success of his novel, he became secretary to the Duke of Orléans and traveled with him to London in 1789. He directed the Journal des Jacobins and was imprisoned in 1793; released in December 1794, he narrowly escaped the guillotine. In 1800, Napoleon promoted him to the rank of brigadier general. Later, he was appointed chief of artillery in Naples, and died from fevers during the siege of Taranto. Other notable works include Ernestine and On War and Peace.
