About Love

«Love is life, it is the main thing», – asserted Mayakovsky. 

«Let's talk about the peculiarities of love», – wrote Pushkin. 

About love, poems are composed, novels are written, songs are created. Stendhal, like many others, pondered what this hard-to-explain feeling represents? In his treatise, he comprehensively analyzes the phenomenon of love, highlighting several of its types: true passion, attraction, flirtation, and vanity.

 In this edition, «About Love» is published in a new translation by Elina Brailovskaya.
