Impossible Love
Some love affairs mark our lives forever. Why do we fall in love at the wrong time, in the wrong place, and with the wrong person? Whether we call them la grande passion, tragic romance, or l'amour fou, they remain indelible because they are impossible.
Using perhaps the greatest of all tragic romances-the passion between H loise and Abelard-as a psychological scaffold, Jan Bauer examines the erotic structures of irresistible attraction with love stories from the lives of men and women today. Why do we put up with the anxiety, the pain, the shame, and the longing never fulfilled?This brilliant book explores the nature of these "marvelous disasters" and finds a deeper necessity in the betrayals, taboos, and excesses of impossible love. This is an exceptional study of love's chaotic mystery.Jan Bauer, author of Women and Alcoholism, is a Jungian
