Love And Will
Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Used. Ah, the 1960s?a time when flower power and existential dread mingled in smoky coffee shops, and philosophy was as fashionable as a pair of bell-bottoms. Enter Rollo May?s "Love And Will," a book so profound it might just induce a midlife crisis before you even hit thirty. This literary artifact from 1969?bless its heart?was published by Dell, a name that inspires thoughts of paperback bliss and, perhaps more importantly, the comforting aroma of old ink and memories long since faded. What do love and will have in common? May suggests, quite audaciously, that these two concepts are the yin and yang of human existence. It?s almost as if he?s daring you to ponder the great cosmic joke while sipping herbal tea and contemplating your own pulse. One can only imagine the author?s quirkily intense stare as he urges you to wrestle with your inner demons while simultaneously embracing the wildly fluctuating nature of affection. It?s like trying to juggle flaming torches while walking a tightrope over an abyss of self-doubt?what a delightful circus! As you turn the pages of this second-hand marvel, expect to encounter a whirlwind of psychological insights, all wrapped in prose that dances on the edge of pretentiousness. May?s writing isn?t just a stroll through the park; it?s a full-blown philosophical marathon, complete with existential potholes and sporadic bursts of enlightenment. You might find yourself pondering questions like: "Am I in love with love itself, or just the idea of love?" or ?Is my willpower strong enough to resist a second slice of cake?? It?s a veritable buffet of introspection, served on a silver platter of self-awareness. Fans of existential philosophy will undoubtedly relish the opportunity to dissect May?s musings, armed with highlighters and a generous supply of post-it notes. But be warned: this book comes with the potential for overthinking. You might find yourself lying awake at 3 AM, wrapped in a blanket of metaphysical dread, wondering if your love life is more "Kafkaesque" than "happily-ever-after." But hey, at least you?ll have fodder for your next dinner party conversation! And what of the practicalities of love? May delves into the nitty-gritty with the finesse of a surgeon wielding a metaphorical scalpel. This is not just your average love story; it?s an exploration of what it means to will oneself to love, with all the accompanying baggage. Love is portrayed not merely as an emotion but as a conscious act?an act that apparently requires a considerable amount of effort and possibly a good therapist. Forget about destiny; you?re going to have to put in the work, dear reader! Condition: This used copy has seen better days, much like the flower children of yesteryear. Expect dog-eared pages, underlined sentences, and the faint scent of an era that believed in peace, love, and the free exchange of ideas. It?s charmingly imperfect, much like the romantic entanglements May so eloquently dissects. Perfect for those who appreciate a book that carries the weight of history, accompanied by a few coffee stains that whisper tales of late-night musings and existential crises. So, if you?re feeling particularly introspective?or perhaps just in need of a good literary workout?grab your copy of "Love And Will." It?s not just a book; it?s an invitation to wrestle with your own psyche while simultaneously questioning if you really need to love that much cake. All this can be yours, courtesy of Crappy Old Books, where the literary treasure trove is as chaotic and delightful as a 1969 vinyl record spinning in the corner of your mind. Seller Inventory # 2170
