Descripción

2 Volumes. 8vo. pp. 1 p.l., viii, 357; 1 p.l., 365. woodcut ornaments & title vignettes. A nice set in later 19th century quarter vellum, gilt backs (hint of foxing). Early edition (Brun s edition O), published the same year as the first, of one of the most famous novels of the eighteenth century. It is also "probably the most skilfully crafted "epistolary" novel ever written. It is a polyphonic work, and Laclos has created an appropriate voice or style for each character." (New Oxford Companion to Literature in French) The plot revolves around the seduction of two virtuous young women planned by the protagonists Valmont and Madame de Mertueil, once lovers and now rivals in libertinage. Brun s Edition O ("assez rare"). cfMartin 82.17. cfCioranescu 35211. cfQuérard II 191. N° de ref. del artículo elala1456
