Book Reviews of The Art of Love (Modern Library Classics)
Book Review: The love: the most coveted pearl!
Summary: 5 Stars
Jim Capaldi was over inspired when wrote in the last strophe of his most emblematic theme: "Cause love is the high, high you can reach."
For all those people who have had the chance, the lucky and the fortune to get their couple and for the rest of them who never had the chance to construct a life's project with that special being, this text presents some clever observations about how the love must be cultivated, far from being imposed or begged.
The love, its implications, consequences and daily cares demand a virtue far beyond the patience is like a smart device of action and reaction that requires a wise flexibility, tolerance and profound knowledge of the human soul; "to think about us before myself" is a minuscule part of a complex web of feelings and personal livings of every member of the couple.
Don't let this classic book pass in front of you and acquire it as soon as you can.
Summary of The Art of Love (Modern Library Classics)
In the first century a.d., Ovid, author of the groundbreaking epic poem Metamorphoses, came under severe criticism for The Art of Love, which playfully instructed women in the art of seduction and men in the skills essential for mastering the art of romantic conquest. In this remarkable translation, James Michie breathes new life into the notorious Roman?s mock-didactic elegy. In lyrical, irreverent English, he reveals love?s timeless dilemmas and Ovid?s enduring brilliance as both poet and cultural critic.History & Criticism Books
