«Le livre des amours» is a collection of short stories by Henri Gougaud published by Seuil in paperback (244 pages, in French).
The book brings together oral-tradition tales from various countries that celebrate love and the games of desire as something sacred. Against the Western gaze that has viewed them with suspicion, Gougaud recovers stories full of wonder and joy, where the power of loving is understood as a gift and a joyful duty.
Full title on cover: Le livre des amours: contes de l'envie d'elle et du désir de lui. July 1997 edition, in the La mémoire des sources collection.
