Description
A new translation of a notorious novel of moral and emotional depravity, published just years before the French Revolution, offers a disturbing portrayal of a decadent society. In this sophisticated game of seduction and manipulation, two aristocrats engage in a battle of wits to bring amusement to their jaded lives. As they challenge each other to seduce innocent and virtuous women, the consequences prove to be more serious and deadly than the players could have ever predicted.
