Description

Description

Love by Stendhal is a deeply personal exploration of human emotion, written as a result of the author's own experiences with unrequited love. In this translation, Gilbert and Suzanne Sale bring to life the original work, accompanied by Stendhal's prefaces and appendices.

The book delves into the complexities of falling in love and being in love, combining elements of poetry, anecdote, philosophy, psychology, and social observation. This unique blend creates a work that is both intensely personal and universally applicable.

Stendhal's own life and experiences are woven throughout the text, offering insight into his views on feminism, education, and society. A companion introduction by Jean Stewart and B.C.J.G. Knight provides further context and analysis of Stendhal's relationship with his beloved Mathilde Dembowski.
