At the end of a dinner party, the remaining guests smoke cigars and tell stories of their first love. For one of them, it will be a dark journey into his past, reawakening unbearable memories of his obsession with the beautiful Zinaida, and the cruelty and betrayal that followed... Love can be surprising. Love can be heartbreaking. Love can be an art. But love is the singular emotion that all humans rely on most . . . and crave endlessly, no matter what the cost. United by this theme of love, the nine titles in the Penguin Great Loves collection include tales of blissful and all- encompassing, doomed and tragic, erotic and absurd, seductive and adulterous, innocent and murderous love. A deeply moving addition to the Penguin Great Ideas and Great Journeys series, each gorgeously packaged book will challenge all expectations of love while celebrating the beauty of its existence. All books in this series: Virgil ... Doomed Love From the Letters of Abelard and Heloise ... Forbidden Fruit Giovanni Boccaccio ... The Eaten Heart: Unlikely Tales of Love Giacomo Casanova ... Of Mistresses, Tigresses and Other Conquests Stendhal ... Cures for Love Soren Kierkegaard ... The Seducer's Diary Ivan Turgenev ... First Love Thomas Hardy ... A Mere Interlude Leo Tolstoy ... The Kreutzer Sonata
