Short stories about love, about crimes and exploits that passion pushes a person to do, piquant, tragic and touching stories. The variability of morality and attitudes towards love - in a collection of romantic stories by French authors of the 16th - 20th centuries. “Can there be different degrees when you are in the power of love? Is it possible to judge whether you love well or badly? To love a lot - how little it is! When you love, you just love, no more, no less. It doesn't need any additions. It is impossible to think or say anything beyond this word. It is short, it is self-sufficient. It becomes body, soul, life, the whole being. You feel it like the warmth of blood, you inhale it like air, you carry it in you like a Thought, because it becomes the only Thought. Apart from him, nothing exists.” Guy de Maupassant
