Love, a utopia?ReviewsWith his usual clarity, rigour, and intelligence, Luc Ferry in his new book tackles the daunting topic of love, its history in modern culture and society, and its role and benefits for the present and the future. For Ferry, love offers not only the possibility of surpassing the broken ideals of the past, but of founding a new humanism in the century ahead. Highly recommended. Richard J.

Pascal Bruckner, Le Nouvel Observateur On Love is thrilling - fireworks of ideas, flashing sabres, and a hell of a good gallop.

And that, to many of us, is something to cherish.
