The luminosity of love

We long for love and to be loved. We also fear love because we risk betrayal by those we love, or we betray them. Predrag Cicovacki’s thought-provoking book, The Luminosity of Love, uses an extraordinary love story of the great unconventional Serbian poet, Laza Kostic, and the aristocratic young woman, Lenka Dundjerski, as a starting point for a wide-ranging discussion of the nature of love, its importance in the Western cultural tradition, and its relevance for living a meaningful life in our high-tech materialistic world of the 21st century. This book is superb philosophical essay about the transformative power of love.
