Pierre Ambroise Choderlos de Laclos (Amiens, October 18, 1741; Taranto, 1803) was a writer and officer in the French army. He was born into a family that had recently ascended to nobility and entered the artillery school of La Fére. After cultivating poetry and writing some opera librettos, in 1782 he published Dangerous Liaisons, or Letters collected in a social circle and published for the instruction of some others, a work that launched him to literary fame. Following the success of his novel, he became secretary to the Duke of Orléans and traveled with him to London in 1789. He directed the Journal des Jacobins and was imprisoned in 1793; released in December 1794, he narrowly escaped the guillotine. In 1800, Napoleon promoted him to the rank of brigadier general. Later, he was appointed chief of artillery in Naples, and died from fevers during the siege of Taranto. Other notable works include Ernestine and On War and Peace.
