Sometimes love is physical, not always dark-eyed, like Balzac's feelings for Madame Hanska, her nobility and money, and Madame Hanska's love for Balzac's genius and fame. It is what happens even though there is no attraction.
According to Charles Bukowski, love is a type of coincidence.
In his relationships, Dante has always expressed himself as giving in to being loved. As a person who loves without being loved, he considers his experiences as the greatest pain of love. Therefore, love means suffering.
Virginia Woolf opposes perceiving love only as sexuality and argues that sexuality destroys love.
For people like Baudelaire, women were the evil flowers of his life.
The reason why I made such an introduction to the book Geniuses and Their Loves is to say that you will read many types of love in the book we will read and still cannot find the definition of love. I think love is completely personal, and making generalizations and saying this and that for love is taking the easy way out. In the book, 45 important names are written by different authors. You will read the short biography of the book. Although I know about many of them, of course, there are new things I learned, and there are many names that surprised me and impressed me. Don't let the thickness of the book scare you, I moved it around a little bit, but I think you can read it in one breath. If you want, there are a few thin books in between. You can add it. Stay with love.
