The Four Loves.
London: Geoffrey Bles, 1960. First Printing of the First UK Edition. A Near Fine copy with owner name on flyleaf in a Fine unclipped dust jacket .In this volume, C. S. Lewis examines human love in four forms: affection, the most basic, general, and emotive; friendship, the most rare, least jealous, and, in being freely chosen, perhaps the most profound; Eros, passionate love that can run counter to happiness and poses real danger; charity, the greatest, most spiritual, and least selfish. Proper love is a risk, but to bar oneself from it--to deny love--is a damning choice. Love is a need and a gift; love brings joy and laughter. We must seek to be awakened and so to find an Appreciative love through which "all things are possible." Item #29246
