New Book The Secret Language of Love: A Visual Treasury of Love Through the Ages Author: Megan Tresidder Book Description: If you want to discover the mysteries of love, then Megan Tressider has compiled one of the most desirable books on the subject you will ever come across. The Secret Language of Love is exquisite--a beautifully illustrated account of love in all its complex manifestations. Divided into four broad sections--The Anatomy of Love, Dimensions of the Heart, The Language of Love, and Archetypes of Love--with detailed subchapters, topics include idealised love, courtship through the ages, the symbolism of love and the relationship between love and sex. It's a fascinating account, generously peppered with poetic and spiritual verse from a wide range of sources--Buddha to Shakspeare, Emily Dickinson to Sanskrit verse. The text alone is a delight because Megan writes with passion and insight, no doubt drawn from her career as a journalist on the UK's most prestigious newspapers and from her background as a graduate in History at Oxford. But it's the illustrations that make The Secret Language of Love so sensuous. Several of the works were specially commissioned and produced by artist Emma Turpin. The rest--more than 200 illustrations in total--are from across the ages, from exquisite Indian miniatures to Andy Warhol; Botticelli's The Birth of Venus to atmospheric contemporary photographs.
