Jim Capaldi was over inspired when wrote in the last strophe of his most emblematic theme: "Cause love is the high, high you can reach."

For all those people who have had the chance, the lucky and the fortune to get their couple and for the rest of them who never had the chance to construct a life's project with that special being, this text presents some clever observations about how the love must be cultivated, far from being imposed or begged.

The love, its implications, consequences and daily cares demand a virtue far beyond the patience is like a smart device of action and reaction that requires a wise flexibility, tolerance and profound knowledge of the human soul; "to think about us before myself" is a minuscule part of a complex web of feelings and personal livings of every member of the couple.

Don't let this classic book pass in front of you and acquire it as soon as you can.

THANK YOU, IT WAS THE RIGHT BOOK THAT I NEEDED FOR CLASS, CHEAPER THAN B&N AND CAME ON TIME.

I read the Duane Humphries translation. His preface is superbly written, so one would hope that his translation possesses similar flair. Since I don't read Latin, I cannot attest to his accuracy.

He observes in his preface the commonalities between Ovid's scene and that of our contemporary world. You will get a strong sense of a society that was very similar to that of our own.
