Clicca qui per l'edizione "Storie senza tempo". Nella memoria dei lettori Le relazioni pericolose, capolavoro assoluto e riconosciuto del romanzo epistolare, lascia tracce diverse: all'uno resta di questo grande libro un'impressione geometrica, ad altri un profumo di rose appassite, un sentore di morte e autodistruzione; c'è chi ne esalta l'ironia sostanziale e chi arriva a vederci dello Sturm und Drang o magari persino parentele con i fratelli minori di Sade. In questa complessa commedia d'inganni in cui si parla tanto d'amore, nessuno ama veramente: o meglio non si amano le persone, ma le maschere con cui esse si travestono. Le relazioni pericolose rimane per la critica unanime una delle pietre miliari di qualsiasi narrativa.

Cyrano's (the real guy) greatest work, model for much of Gulliver's Travels, Munchausen and so many other fantasy books. First published in the 17th Century (Paris, of course), this elegant satire takes its hero into the solar system, where he then can freely speak on matters of sex, religion and humanity. Join the big guy as he wanders about the solar system, meeting up with Beast-Men, the Solen people, and a rep from the Kingdom of Love.
