In 1979, Francesco Alberoni revolutionized psychology and sociology with Enamoramiento y amor, an excellent essay that was translated into more than twenty languages ​​and that made him one of the most renowned and original specialists in love affairs.
Now, with Sex and Love, the Italian author continues his attempt to explain the primordial mechanisms that guide our behaviors with a lucid and insightful look at the wide range of sexual and amorous experiences.

From the anonymous relationship to the intimate relationship, from the frantic union of bodies to that in which souls are fused, from violent sexuality to delicate sexuality, from the most unbridled promiscuity to the most exclusive relationships, Alberoni sheds light on the most contradictory and hidden desires and the most difficult thoughts to admit, while refuting the Freudian theory and the postulates of authors like Georges Bataille.

With its enveloping prose, in which literary texts and true stories merge, the author resorts to writers such as Stendhal, or Dostoevsky, and makes the protagonists speak with their own language, sometimes obscene and brutal, but always tinged with a poetic veil. of humanism and vitality.

Thus, in Francesco Alberoni sheds light on the most intimate desires and invites the reader to explore the innumerable forms of love, a force brimming with freshness and eroticism that reveals our most secret dilemmas, our pains and hopes.
