How the French Invented Love is an entertaining and masterful history of love a la francaise by acclaimed scholar Marilyn Yalom.

Spanning the Middle Ages to the present, Yalom explores a love-obsessed culture through its great works of literature - from Moliere’s comic love to the tragic love of Racine, from the existential love of Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre to the romanticism of George Sand and Alfred de Musset.

A thoroughly engaging homage to French culture and literature interlaced with the author’s delicious personal anecdotes, How the French Invented Love is ideal for fans of Alain de Botton, Adam Gopnik, and Simon Schama.
