Book Reviews of Love (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: "The only remedy for love is to love more "
Summary: 5 Stars
This is Stendhal's analysis of Love. It was allegedly written because of his unrequited love for a woman named Methilde Dembowski. He analyzes in the work the kinds of Love , and the stages of Love. The work contains many aphorisms of great insight and beauty. For Stendhal one kind of Love the love he is afflicted with is a romantic love which is a kind of Madness. In the first part of the book he analyzes this kind of Love.
In the second part of the book he analyzses different national types in relation to Love, finding the French lacking and the Italians more successful.
This is a ' classic work' but in my reading of it it lacks the depth I sense is required to give a more convincing and comprehensive explanation of that Passion which makes us most human.
