Description
Denis de Rougemont explores the complex relationship between love and death in this thought-provoking work. Drawing on his analysis of the myth of Tristan, the author delves into the origins of Western conceptions of love, tracing its connections to religion, passion, mysticism, literature, war, marriage, adultery, action, and fidelity.
Through a nuanced examination of these themes, de Rougemont reveals the contradictions at the heart of Western attitudes towards love. He asks what ideal of love underlies our desires for happiness in marriage, and how this desire relates to our fascination with suffering and tragedy.
This book is a seminal work on the nature of love, one that challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about the human experience.
