Description
Some love affairs mark our lives forever. Impossible Love explores the nature of these "marvelous disasters" and finds a deeper necessity in the betrayals, taboos, and excesses of impossible love. Jan Bauer examines the erotic structures of irresistible attraction using real-life love stories from men and women today. Drawing on her expertise as a Jungian analyst, she sheds light on why we fall in love at the wrong time, with the wrong person, and what drives us to put up with the anxiety, pain, shame, and longing that often accompany impossible love. This book offers an exceptional study of love's chaotic mystery, using the passion between Héloise and Abelard as a psychological scaffold.
