Overview
Este libro es parte de la colección ClÔsicos selectos de C. S. Lewis.
 Un ensayo lúcido, directo y colmado de ejemplos sobre una realidad constante en la vida del hombre y de la mujer. En este libro, C. S. Lewis reflexiona sobre los cuatro tipos bÔsicos del amor humano: el afecto, la amistad, el eros y la caridad.
El autor explora la promesa y el peligro del amor entre padres e hijos; el amor entre hombres y entre mujeres; el amor entre hombre y mujer; y el amor de y por Dios que eleva y transforma todo amor.
Lewis tambiĆ©n aborda preguntas fundamentales sobre el sexo, la posesividad, los celos, el orgullo, el sentimentalismo superficial, la cortesĆa y la importancia de la risa entre los amantes. Hay riesgos que acompaƱan las recompensas del amor, nos advierte el autor, pero nos anima a aceptarlos, porque āel Ćŗnico lugar fuera del cielo donde uno puede estar perfectamente a salvo de todos los peligros y las perturbaciones del amor es el infiernoā.
Lewis nos recuerda que el amor verdadero implica vulnerabilidad, pero negarse a amar es elegir el aislamiento. El amor es tanto una necesidad como un regalo divino: una invitación a la alegrĆa, la conexión y la transformación.Ā
The Four Loves
This book is part of C. S. Lewisā Signature Classics collection.
A lucid, direct, and example-filled reflection on one of lifeās constant realities. In this book, C. S. Lewis examines the four basic types of human love: affection, friendship, eros, and charity.
The author explores the promise and the danger of love between parents and children; love between men and between women; love between man and woman; and the love of and for God, which elevates and transforms all love.
Lewis also addresses fundamental questions about sex, possessiveness, jealousy, pride, false sentimentality, manners in love, and the need for more laughter between lovers. There are risks that come with the rewards of love, Lewis warns, but he urges us to accept themābecause āthe only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.ā
Lewis reminds us that true love requires vulnerability, but to refuse love is to choose isolation. Love is both a need and a divine giftāan invitation to joy, connection, and transformation.
