About Love: Reinventing Romance for Our Times

About Love: Reinventing Romance for Our Times Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This book offers insightful observations from a broad range of sources--literary, historical, and personal--to explore the volatile blend of passion, expectation, and confusion that characterizes this most exhilarating and excruciating of human passions--love.

Synopsis:

About Love uses insightful observations from a broad range of philosophical, religious, literary, psychological, and sociological sources — including Plato, Aristotle, Arthurian legend, Shakespeare, Stendhal, D. H. Lawrence, Albert Camus, Margaret Mead, Erich Fromm, and Irving Singer — to help the reader understand every aspect of this elusive emotion. He explores how love has been both idealized and denigrated, about falling in love, being in love, introducing sex to love, love and self-hood, navigating a partnership, and, most important of all, the challenge of making love last.
