About This Book

De l'amour is a philosophical treatise by French writer Stendhal, published in 1822. The work explores the psychology of romantic love and was inspired by Stendhal's unrequited passion for Italian aristocrat Metilde Viscontini Dembowski. It introduces the concept of "crystallization", a process through which lovers idealize their beloved, and remains a foundational text in the study of love as a psychological phenomenon.
