Sinopse

From platonic love to virtual sex, barriers and models are broken down in a story still under construction.

In the same Age of Enlightenment that combatted the enslavement of emotions, an opposing force took hold of Western imaginations: romanticism elevated chaste love to life's noblest purpose. Sexual repression, transformed into neurosis and hysteria, became the subject of psychoanalytic investigation and was combated by the 20th-century counterculture. The advent of the birth control pill, the feminist and gay movements, and the technological revolution paved the way for a new experience of love.

The human journey is marked by clashes and repetitions. Weakness or strength, virtue or sin, glory or perdition, freedom or possession, dissociated from each other or inseparable, linked to marriage, monogamy, or infidelity, love and sex have been exalted and violently combated. But what will the future hold for them?

The Book of Love is divided into two volumes: the first, from Prehistory to the Renaissance , the second, from the Enlightenment to the present day . This fascinating work places us before the mirror of history and casts a courageous eye on relationships today.
