One of the year's most original and outstanding books...fascinating

Theodore Zeldin's all-embracing history of our feelings throughout
the ages [is] brilliantly original and unsettling... His scope is
dazzling... A seductive and unusually thought provoking book

Bubbling wit... Zeldin makes life exciting for the reader. It is
like being on some careering fair-ground ride that whirls you from
one limelit fragment of civilisation to the next at breakneck
speed...gatecrashing all the cultures of the world
