Aš nepamenu, kada paskutinį kartą skaičiau tokį dėmesį kaustantį romaną. Tiesiog 10/10
Neveltui jis pramintas geriausiu 18 amžiaus romanu. Kraupus, pasišlykštėtinas ir juokingas. Vietomis labai nejaukiai totaliai primenantis dabartį ir kaip iki šiol ne visai toli pasistūmėjome su Harviveinšteiniškais personažais. Creepy, bet ir amazing adventure. Rekomenduoju visiems, visomis kalbomis. Totalus malonumas.

Done! Uh, I really wanted to enjoy this book, but I think that this sort of literature is just not for me. If it was not for that literature class, I would have never have read it, and I would have been fine. I just found it incredibly boring and so long... Definitely not my cup of tea.

Um livro bem divertido com um compilado de cartas trocadas por pessoas da alta sociedade francesa. Acompanhamos principalmente o visconde de Valmont e a marquesa de Merteuil. Dois doces depravados que compartilham suas tramas para satisfação própria e perdição alheia. Vemos ao longo das cartas pequenas e grandes tramas se desenvolvendo, volta e meia eu simmplesmente começava a rir no meio da leitura.
Não tenha tanta certeza que quem gosta de romantismo iria gostar, visto que este livro desnuda traições que acontecem por baixo das instituições tradicionais como o casamento. O tom me parece similar, nesse sentido, ao que vemos em o Retrato de Dorian Gray.


Preciso ter essa mulher, para me salvar do ridículo de me apaixonar por ela: pois onde não nos leva um desejo contrariado?


Rating is for sheer amusement value, not for any lasting meaningfulness

First of all, no words can describe how much I hate epistolary novels. Now that I'm finished, I'm going to drop this genre forever.
 
Secondly, I didn't like both Viscount Valmont and Danceny since the beginning, but it's in the very ending that my hate for them culminated.

LET'S BE FR NOW: CÉCILE DE VOLANGES WAS THE REAL VICTIM! OMG, IT INFURIATES ME SM!!! THIS BOOK SCREAMS: "CHEATING IS OKAY FOR MARRIED WOMEN (MADAME DE TOURVEL FAKE CHRISTIAN-ASS), BUT I DRAW THE LINE AT YOUNG GIRLS BEING DECEIVED, MANIPULATED AND BLACKMAILED BY ADULTS WHO WANT TO INVOLVE THEM IN THEIR TWISTED SCHEMES."
I WAS SPEECHLESS ABOUT MADAME DE ROSEMONDE'S BEHAVIOUR. NOT A FREAKING SINGLE SHADE FELL ON VALMONT, AS IF HE WAS ANY BETTER THAN MARQUISE DE MERTEUIL HERSELF. NOT TO MENTION DANCENY'S INFIDELITY. HE WASN'T TRICKED INTO LOVING THE MARQUISE, HE CHOSE HER!!! TO RESUME, BOTH VALMONT AND DANCENY HAVE A PERSONAL CIRCLE OF HELL DEDICATED TO THEM.
