Liebe

This anthology presents love in its many faces. Stories by Patricia Highsmith, Tschingis Aitmatov, André Aciman and Ocean Vuong, among others, stand alongside personal accounts and contributions from current research. The view ranges from passion to hurt and also encompasses death.

The spectrum runs from desire and the fear of love to love for animals and for nature. Self-love, calculated affection and parental love also find their place. The texts show how love can be glory and fragility at the same time.

Which form of love do you recognize in your own experience, and where does it begin to turn into dependence or deception? The collection leaves this question to the readers. The book is number 195 in the series “Podium”.
