Love itself

Miss d'Albrecht was fifteen, her childhood was leaving her. Monsieur de Ramon became her teacher, mentor, and lover. She still knew little about the real world and the sensual world, he had already known many countries, coasts, and women. He once told her that all discussions between a man and a woman were just a show, a dance for the sake of mastering the body. In that dance, she learned the incomprehensible value of the matter from which the other is created. This whole sensual-intellectual novel is a dance of living souls in living bodies to the music of love and passion, in the rhythms of doubt and certainty, compliance and stubbornness, openness and isolation. And all this in France, somewhere in the 17th-18th centuries. So this novel is also an opportunity to peek: how people loved and talked about love then and there.
