Unearth wisdom from our greatest writers and philosophers to help you tackle life's big questions.

The great subject of love--finding it, keeping it, losing it--has fascinated and consumed us since the beginning of time. Why do we fall in love, and what does it mean? Through essays and letters, these questions are tackled by an array of writers from ancient to modern times. There's Rainer Maria Rilke advising on the flux and change in relationships; Plato explaining where the 'other half' idea originates; and Stendhal's famous dissection of love.

From Sappho to Robert Louis Stevenson, Falling in Love explores romance, infatuation and everything in between. Combining self-help, erudition and dazzling wisdom, here's a book to help us make sense of the wonderful and complex idea of love.
