«Über die Liebe» is Stendhal's philosophical essay, published by Insel Verlag GmbH in paperback (425 pages, in German).
Stendhal examines love as a psychological and social phenomenon, presents love-passion, love-gust and physical love, and expounds crystallization: the process by which imagination embellishes the beloved. Stendhal also observes how the social relations of his time condition the amorous feeling.
Work originally published in 1822 as De l'amour; this German edition, translated by Walter Hoyer, is number 3262 of the insel taschenbuch collection.
For readers interested in philosophy, the classic essay and nineteenth-century French literature.
Marie-Henri Beyle, better known by his pen name Stendhal, was a French writer. Best known for the novels Le Rouge et le Noir and La Chartreuse de Parme, he is highly regarded for the acute analysis of his characters' psychology and considered one of the early and foremost practitioners of realism. A self-proclaimed egotist, the neologism for the same characteristic in his characters was "Beylism".
