"Our understanding of love today is not the same as the one espoused by Plato in the fourth century BCE. Nor is it the same as the courtly love of the Renaissance, or love as defined by Stendhal or Proust or Freud. In this utterly original book, cultural critic Ilan Stavans engages in an exhilarating dialogue with Verónica Albin about love and its various manifestations. Roaming through millennia, across geographical boundaries, and from culture to culture, Stavans surprises us again and again with new perspectives on love--how we conceive of it, how it differs from place to place, what roles it plays in people's lives, and how it appears in art and literature." [jacket copy] "In this lively, erudite conversation Stavans ranges over literature, etymology, philosophy, mythology, and sexuality. The heart of his investigation is how language is used to convey emotion, and how literature is 'a form of empathy' and 'inspired testimony' that connects us with the human experience. Stavans generously shares not only his considerable learning, but his own experience, making this book a unique exploration of love and language."--Fred R. Shapiro, Editor, Yale Book of Quotations. "Love is just a four-letter word."--Bob Dylan. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a bright baby-blue jacket. Quite presentable.
