This book is for those who have kept in their minds the Agatha Christie song “I’m at war, like you, and you, like at war.” Not teenagers, but quite mature and even somewhat overripe people think about love in military terminology: seizing territories, holding positions, enemy resistance and unconditional surrender. For some reason, these people always lose. This book is dedicated to veterans of the gender front, with swollen pride, with an amputated ability for intimacy, with a broken psyche and a broken heart. In addition, it will be useful to those who did not even think about fighting, but one day saw a tank approaching his love bed, woven from flowers, and it was not just anyone who was leading it, but the person closest to him. After negotiations prove unsuccessful, shelters - destroyed, when you choose whether to fight, run or surrender, when after everything you both understand that there are no winners, you will be tormented by only one question: what was that?! Perhaps there is an answer here. Although it is possible that you have written a new chapter in “The Art of Love War,” because the ways in which loving people torment each other are inexhaustible.
