The book examines the concept of love through history, exploring its evolution from ancient civilizations to modern perspectives. The narrative delves into various mythologies and philosophies, presenting love not merely as a sentiment but as a pivotal theme in human existence, interwoven with notions of beauty and societal norms. The beginning of "Historia Amoris" sets the stage for a deep exploration of the origins of love, highlighting its absence in the initial moments of creation and its gradual emergence through the development of human civilization. Saltus introduces a vivid historical context, starting with the allegorical representations in Eden and Babylon, emphasizing the role of women and their associations with love and worship of various deities.
