Description: "Brimming with insight, thoughtfulness, and sincerity . . . a poetic road map to the past, present, and future of love" is how Kirkus Reviews praised The Double Flame, Nobel Laureate Octavio Paz's exploration of the intimate connection between sex, eroticism, and love. Illuminating and provocative, these essays examine everything from taboo to repression, providing an accessible, engaging discourse on what Paz calls our "share of paradise".
