Book description
Johannes is an aesthete, dedicated to creating the possibility of
seduction through the careful manipulation of young women. He
stealthily pursues the innocent Cordelia until she becomes
increasingly drawn to him. But when she is ready to give herself
completely, she realizes she may have got everything wrong.
United by the theme of love, the writings in the Great Loves series
span over two thousand years and vastly different worlds. Readers will
be introduced to love's endlessly fascinating possibilities and
extremities: romantic love, platonic love, erotic love, gay love,
virginal love, adulterous love, parental love, filial love, nostalgic
love, unrequited love, illicit love, not to mention lost love, twisted
and obsessional love..
Soren Aabye Kierkegaard (1813-1855) was a 19th century Danish
philosopher and theologian, generally recognized as the first
existentialist philosopher.
