Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos

A novel that has always read like your messaging app.

At its core, Les Liaisons dangereuses is a string of letters. Liaisons simply reveals its contemporary form: those letters become conversations—without changing a single word of the original text. The story regains a newfound immediacy, as if it had always been destined for our screens. Reading a classic has never felt so natural.

Contemporary Reinvention

Classics have never been so toxic—and that's precisely what makes them timeless.

Published in 1782, Choderlos de Laclos's Les Liaisons dangereuses remains one of the most audacious novels ever written. Desire, manipulation, power, reputation—over two centuries later, its characters still speak the universal language of human relationships. What if the greatest drama in French literature was playing out in your DMs right now?
