| book description |

Named one of the 100 best nonfiction books of all time by the Modern Library Anne Carsonâ€™s remarkable first book about the paradoxical nature of romantic love Since it was first published, Eros the Bittersweet, Anne Carsonâ€™s lyrical meditation on love in ancient Greek literature and philosophy, has established itself as a favorite among an unusually broad audience, including classicists, essayists, poets, and general readers. Beginning with the poet Sapphoâ€™s invention of the word â€œbittersweetâ€ to describe Eros, Carsonâ€™s original and beautifully written book is a wide-ranging reflection on the conflicted nature of romantic love, which is both â€œmiserableâ€ and â€œone of the greatest pleasures we have.â€
