Abstract

While it is true that any publication about love provokes a certain curiosity and expectation in the public, during the reading of Teorías sobre el amor en la cultura árabe medieval by Emilio Tornero Poveda these initial attitudes turn into a desire of knowing more about the culture that, according to Stendhal, has created the model of “true love” as the Western world conceives it.
