Oh, how the French love love! For hundreds of years, they have
championed themselves as guides to the art de l'amour through their
literature, paintings, songs, and cinema. A French man or woman
without amorous desire is considered defective, like someone
missing the sense of smell or taste. Now revered scholar Marilyn
Yalom intimately examines the tenets of this culture's enduring
gospel of romance.
Basing her delightfully erudite findings on her extensive
readings of French literature, as well as memories of her personal
experiences in la belle France, Yalom explores the many nuances of
love as it has evolved over the centuries, from the Middle Ages to
the present. Following along, step-by-step, on her romance-tinged
literary detective hunt, the reader discovers how the French
invented love, how they have kept it vibrant for more than nine
centuries, what is unique in the French love experience, and what
is universal.
