Named one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time by the
Modern Library Anne Carson’s remarkable first book about the
paradoxical nature of romantic love Since it was first published,
Eros the Bittersweet, Anne Carson’s lyrical meditation on love in
ancient Greek literature and philosophy, has established itself as
a favorite among an unusually broad audience, including
classicists, essayists, poets, and general readers. Beginning with
the poet Sappho’s invention of the word “bittersweet” to
describe Eros, Carson’s original and beautifully written book is
a wide-ranging reflection on the conflicted nature of romantic
love, which is both “miserable” and “one of the greatest
pleasures we have.”
