A curious look that in an imperceptible instant becomes furtive. Approaching, almost touching; Start a conversation that arouses interest and meet again. Manage to seduce and awaken desire; then, the touch of the skin and, behind it, the embrace; and then the kiss to, at the end, give free rein to lust. Telling stories where love moves bodies and unleashes other passions – from the love triangle of Agamemnon, Helen and Paris, through the sexual outbursts of Jupiter, to the disagreements between Jason and Medea – the poet Ovid, master of seduction, reveals how love was lived in Antiquity.

Top author of Latin literature and classic reference in everything that refers to love and eroticism, in these immortal pages Ovid has bequeathed us a series of strategies to fall in love and conquer, advice to care for and give pleasure to the loved one, and recommendations to forget the lack of love and look for the next lover.

This commemorative edition of Arte de amar, Remedios contra el amor and Cosméticos para el rostro femenina features magnificent illustrations by Diego Mallo and an enlightening prologue by Emilio del Río.
