A Passionate and reflexive aproach to the meaning of Love.
Love is a mistery. As well as Poetry. Octavio Paz wrote in justa few months a book that had been haunting him for years. Sex, erotism, love;they are similar but not equal. Paz shows us a different,beautiful and enlightning view of human most powerful energy.When Paz, surely the biggest poet of the xx century, writes about love, he also writes about his one obsession: the place and meaning of poetry in our century. He is after the "real reality", because Poetry and love both, are a central part of something we call our Soul. In the other hand, Paz is always enjoyble and provocative but elegant and wise.It's a privilege reading it.
