Читать книгу Enjoy, Comprehend, Love. Entering the Spaces of Conscious Love - Yury Tomin - Страница 2

We often think about love but very rarely dare to talk about it. We dream to meet love but we almost never consciously go for it. We try to understand love, but we understand only the futility of our efforts and that “this great secret is.” The book Enjoy, Comprehend, Love is written for those who would like to talk about romantic love with famous thinkers and poets, open your mind to the perception of the fullness of love, comprehend its versatility, and if you decide, then choose out loud your own conscious love.

In the book, while contemplating on love one can find excerpts from famous literary works and illustrated schemes of certain psychological laws of love relationships. Thus, the author invites the reader to his own thoughts about love, armed with graceful metaphors and initial logical links.

The image of travel through the spaces of love was chosen as a canvas connecting the book, and spatial metaphors were used to describe the complex, paradoxical manifestations of love relationships. You can start your journey with any chapter in the nine sections of this small but intense book depending on what interests you the most at the moment. For example, you can start with Courtly Love, interested in the mentioning of Plato, move on to Platonic Love, then, clarifying its delicate moments in the chapter Love that Conceals its Name, proceed to Building a Love Boat.

The reader is also given the opportunity to independently conduct simple tests and experiments of their own undergoing love, allowing the curious one to feel its new bright facets, and for those interested in the secrets of famous love stories the book offers an analysis of the pure love relationships in the Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel The Idiot and the metamorphosis of enchanted love in Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita.
