Description
More than just a provocative, richly illustrated book, The Compleat Lover is an unforgettable experience, a fresh examination of the many faces of love, from infancy through maturity, which takes into account today's sexual freedom and the emergence of a new romanticism. Opening with an introductory survey, The Story of Love, Derek and Julia Parker continue their exploration of the different phases of love: Falling in Love, Courting, Making Love, and A Lifetime of Loving. Each section contains an integrated text-and-picture essay that is followed by a Lover's Anthology of poetry and quotations selected for this book. The section on Making Love also features a memorable photographic essay on the "Language of the Body", illuminating and reminding us of the magical grace of our bodies and how we may improve our awareness of our physical selves. Very unique book, filled with love poetry, essays on love and loving, quizzes and some reproductions of masterpieces. Out Of Print. Condition: Fine. Softly bumped corners on both book and dustjacket.
