Eros the Bittersweet: An Essay: 129 (Princeton Classics)

Nice book- not for all the readers though. I'm glad that i have studied Classic Greek & Latin literature, because that made my reading more easy and familiar. If you are not a grecian, this will bore you. It's not a ''lesbian'' book, it's a literature essay- who happens to analyze the subject of Eros (Love in ancient greek).

The beauty of this book does not lie in the adornment of its words but in the power of its insights. It does not give its point away and one needs to read it with full attention, but in the end, it can give you more than an understanding of what the Greeks called Eros, but an experience.

One of the smartest and most interesting book I have ever read! Beautifully written piece that will get your whole attention and keep you thinking for quite a few days :D

Poor quality print on demand book. Buy from somewhere else.

A classic essay and a must read. I would say an essential for every scholar and future artist reflecting on the essence of time

One of the best and most beautiful books ever read.

Un libro magistralmente escrito en donde la autora desgrana la relación entre amor y sexo, fundamentándose en la visión del amor, Eros, en la Grecia clásica. Lo que interpreta poco tiene que ver con el amor tal y como se entiende hoy en día en la calle. Profundiza en lo que es esencial, universal en el sentimiento y la pasión amorosos y las tensiones que comporta.

The item is as described. Thanks.

There is nothing I won't read of Carson's whose brilliance is undeniable as it is penetrating. This is a revelation of Eros that does the phenomenon justice. The danger of desire become palpable.
