Liber Amoris: Or, the New Pygmalion [An Authentic Story of the Two Faces of Love]

266 pp. "It is a narration with autobiographical touches. There is a thoughtful and charming account of the experiences and observations of the author. The love-story encompasses all his pains, sorrows and desires. A heart-felt book, it offers a deep analysis of human feelings." "William Hazlitt (10 April 1778 – 18 September 1830) was an English writer, drama and literary critic, painter, social commentator, and philosopher. He is now considered one of the greatest critics and essayists in the history of the English language,[1][2] placed in the company of Samuel Johnson and George Orwell.[3][4] He is also acknowledged as the finest art critic of his age.[5] Despite his high standing among historians of literature and art, his work is currently little read and mostly out of print.[6][7] During his lifetime he befriended many people who are now part of the 19th-century literary canon, including Charles and Mary Lamb, Stendhal, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, and John Keats.[8]"
