A book about love as seen by the ancients, Eros is Anne Carson's exploration of the concept of "eros" in both classical philosophy and literature. Beginning with: "It was Sappho who first called eros 'bittersweet.' No one who has been in love disputes her. What does the word mean?", Carson examines her subject from numerous points of view and styles, transcending the constraints of the scholarly exercise for an evocative and lyrical meditation in the tradition of William Carlos William's Spring and All and William H. Gass's On Being Blue.

Epigrammatic, witty, ironic, and endlessly interesting, Eros is an utterly original book by an author whose acclaim has been steadily growing since the book was first published in 1986 by Johns Hopkins.

用户评价

"He thought the risk worthwhile, because he was in love with the wooing itself. And who is not?" The wooing of love and knowledge. 读完恨不得自己识得Greek....

安卡森还是蛮可爱的 我蛮喜欢她的 这本书 和她翻译的悲剧一样 看似轻松 其实古典学功底不弱

我才意识到这个是人家博士论文，吓得我。。。很喜欢oral和written的讨论，开头几节和最后几节好看。

Imagination is at the core of desire.

有点重复
