The Greatest Love Stories Ever Told

Love can be strange, beautiful and dangerous and is never what you expect. Following on from the phenomenal success of the bestselling Great Ideas series, Penguin brings you the most inspiring and surprising stories about love in all its infinite varieties, from romantic, platonic and illicit to lost, nostalgic and obsessional.

Spanning over two thousand years and crossing vastly different worlds, the books in the Great Loves series cover some of the world's most celebrated and tragic love affairs. They stretch from the first flush of Turgenev's First Love and the unrequited love of Nabokov's Mary to Updike's celebration of adultery in The Women Who Got Away and the murderous passions of Tolstoy's The Kreutzer Sonata.

Exploring love's endlessly fascinating possibilities and extremities, from the innocence of Mansfield's Something Childish and Very Natural to Stendhal's humorous musings on falling in love and the outrageous romps of the seducer and gambler Casanova, there's something here to appeal to everyone.
