Features: Love, this eternal theme, is suitable for all kinds of descriptions, various dreams, and diverse forms of expression. This is precisely what this exquisite illustrated collection tells us—it presents a myth, legend, and reality of love that spans centuries through words and images. Ancient legends, the poetry of troubadours, romantic masterpieces, sorrowful ballads, and triumphant symphonies all demonstrate how love, as the only yet ever-changing emotion, has inspired us! Interesting interludes, odes, and laments, along with postcards, theatrical moments, and cinematic highlights, along with the lenses of famous or unknown photographers capturing couples, all form a magnificent parade of love. These past and present elements—perhaps real experiences, perhaps dreams—maybe historical figures, maybe legends. This is an epic filled with charm and passion that two people can read together, turning every day into Valentine's Day.
In this book, these beautiful illustrations, photographs that evoke fond memories, and elegant text show us the myths, legends, and factual descriptions of lovers. The stories of lovers are once again presented to us through history and fiction. We can relive the legendary tales of Céleste and Queen Geneviève, Tristan and Isolde, Venus and Adonis, and even Adam and Eve. But not all legendary love stories come from ancient times. Here, too, are Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh from Gone with the Wind—even when Bogart and Bacall first met at Warner Bros. Studios, the romance on screen became real off screen. You will also be captivated by the exquisite photographs of romantic places—Venice, Niagara Falls, Parisian cafes, Capri, and so much more.
This magnificent book can be read alone or enjoyed with your loved one, bringing you warm and delightful reading moments.
