Ever since humanity invented writing and became addicted to creating and reading books, they have created many works of love. The poets of antiquity and the Middle Ages addressed this topic, the geniuses of the Renaissance praised it, and wrote about it in all subsequent centuries. There are several books dedicated to this wonderful feeling. Although, of course, the list of noteworthy works of love is truly inexhaustible.
Instructions
Step 1
Perhaps the most famous love story is William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The history of a pure and quivering first feeling has been troubling human minds and hearts for many centuries. It is not for nothing that films are constantly being shot on its basis, operas, ballets and musicals are written.
Step 2
Love as an uplifting admiration for a beautiful but unattainable woman is best described by the great Italian poet Dante Alighieri in his book New Life. This is a rather peculiar work, built on a combination of Dante's prosaic story about his love for Beatrice, who has long passed away, and delightful sonnets dedicated to her.
Step 3
Touching and sentimental love novels were created by representatives of English classical literature - Charlotte and Emilia Brontë and Jane Austen. Charlotte Brontë's novel "Jane Eyre" has become widely known, the heroine of which, an outwardly inconspicuous girl with a beautiful soul, having gone through many adversities, manages to find happiness and love.
Step 4
A completely different - disturbing, soul-destroying love - is described in the novel by Charlotte's sister - Emilia Bronte - “Wuthering Heights”. The all-consuming passion of the young savage Catherine Earnshaw and the rootless foundling Heathcliff seems capable of ruining not only themselves, but also everyone who happens to be in her path.
Step 5
Jane Austen's book "Pride and Prejudice" became a favorite reading of a huge number of the fair sex. Love is presented by the writer as a duel between two proud and strong natures, who, fortunately, still manage to understand that they are destined for each other by fate.
Step 6
An amazing work about love was created by the great French writer Frederic Stendhal. The touching story of the feeling awakened in the soul of the Italian aristocrat Fabrizio del Dongo in relation to the daughter of the commandant of the fortress, where he is imprisoned, Clelia Conti is compared with the plot of the legend of St. Valentine. The beautiful Gina, accustomed to breaking men's hearts, but caught up in secret and hopeless love for her young nephew Fabrizio, also evokes sympathy and sympathy.
Step 7
The famous novel by Mikhail Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita" has absorbed many themes and motives, becoming a kind of result of the writer's work. But above all the funny and tragic events of the novel, the love story of its protagonists rises - a love that cannot be destroyed by human envy and anger, or the intervention of otherworldly forces, or death itself.
Step 8
A magical, mysterious world, whose inhabitants selflessly follow their dreams and, at the end of this path, find true love, was created on the pages of his works by Alexander Green. Among his characters are the naive young Assol, despite the ridicule of those around, who waited for the arrival of the ship with scarlet sails, and the romantic Harvey, who did not immediately manage to discern the earthly embodiment of Frazi Grant, “running on the waves,” in an ordinary girl Daisy.
Step 9
One of the most touching and tragically beautiful love stories is told by Hans Christian Andersen in his fairy tale "The Little Mermaid". The story of a young mermaid who sacrificed her life for the sake of love for the handsome prince, who did not understand her, is addressed not so much to children as to adults, in whose souls faith in true love, loyalty and devotion does not fade away.
