With writers, painters, psychoanalysts and film makers as her sources, Nicole Avril explores the fascinating theme of the passion of love by creating her own dictionary.

At one time or another in the life of each of us, the passion of love and its haemorrhage of feeling surges forth. It is a delicious catastrophe, a hellishly exquisite sensual delight, a death too sweet. It fascinates and terrifies. No emotion has ever evoked at once such seduction and inspired such aversion, for the domain of passion is that of oxymorons. One suffers, with unbearable pleasure. One loves, to the point of hatred. The senses heightened, one is more alive than ever. And one wants to die. It has endlessly inspired our myths and those who create—Tristan and Isolde and courtly love, Anna Karenina, Plato, Stendhal, Edith Piaf, Belle du Seigneur, Heloïse and Abelard, La Duchesse de Langeais, Carmen, Werther, Proust, Cocteau, Denis de Rougemont, Roland Barthes, The Blue Angel, The Empire of the Senses, Wuthering Heights, The Story of O, La Femme d'à côté. And the list goes on.
