Les menottes et le radiateur : Une liaison dangereuse

Vous dînez chez des amis. La conversation roule sur la passion. On raconte une histoire : amour fou, menottes et radiateur... L'imagination de chacun s'enflamme. Le plus torride reste à venir. Choderlos de Laclos et Vivant Denon hantent ce jeu littéraire, aussi moderne que malicieux. Un clin d'œil plein de légèreté et d'humour.
