Select from the options above.

Correct Option: 1  

Explanation:
Choderlos de Laclos
The work is the late 18th century epistolary novel "Les Liaisons Dangereuses"", in which the Marquise and the Vicomte variously seduce, manipulate, exploit, revenge themselves upon and destroy other people in their aristocratic world. The novel remains a classic in French literature, as possibly a morality tale or as simply showing the perceived mores of the time in full flight.
