The human heart has always been a compass guiding the stories we tell, the art we create and the lives we live. Across centuries and cultures, love, with its joys, sorrows and complexities, has inspired countless narratives that reveal its shifting meanings, but also its enduring essence.
This second volume of Affairs of the Heart: Timeless Narratives From Around the World represents a continuation of the exploration begun in the first book, presenting a fascinating collection of academic insights into how passionate affection and relationships are portrayed, understood and experienced across diverse societies.
In the first chapter, Thomas Cousineau focusses on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s magnum opus, The Great Gatsby. In Cousineau’s opinion, the novelist’s using of the Gatsby-Daisy romance as a story within which to stage the emergence of the symmetrical imperative stimulates the reader’s capacity for wonder.
Shruti Amar’s contribution is centered around The Flame of the Forest, a novel by Sudhindra Nath Ghose in which the writer drew inspiration from the captivating tale of Radha and Krishna to construct a love story between an “educated” Bengali man, Balaram, and Myna, a kirtani travelling with her troupe. Amar shows how, in his book, Ghose draws a paralel between the two protagonists and the divine couple.
The next chapter of the book is about two renowned figures of the Romanian culture. Violeta Negrea’s contribution reveals the hidden love story of Monica Lovinescu and Virgil Ierunca, two Romanians who fled their country during the communist regime and who have been praised for their Free Europe radio programs, debates and news, as well as for their radio literary circles. The contribution emphasizes the motivating power of love, which unites two people and drives them to collaborate toward a common goal.
Shifting her gaze to film, Alexandra Moraru highlights the conceptual metaphors that shape the narrative structure of Love Story and investigates how Jungian archetypes emerge through the characters' development. Additionally, she examines how symbolic visual elements enhance the portrayal of the protagonists, bringing the archetypes to life with greater intensity.
Monica Alina Toma’s contribution delves into the poetic rendering of love's spectacular power as presented in Arabian Love Poems, one of the rare English translations of Nizar Qabbani’s work by Bassam Frangieh and Clementina Brown. The research explores the enchanting imagery that the most acclaimed Arab poet created in order to express his profound emotional experiences.
Irina - Ana Drobot participates to the volume with an analysis of the relationships that appear in Graham Swift's novels, published between 1980 and 2020. By employing a multidisciplinary approach that incorporates reader-response criticism, literary analysis, psychology and psychoanalysis, the researcher argues that the British writer challenges the perception of contemporary fiction as dismissive of romantic love. In Drobot’s opinion, Swift's work demonstrates the enduring power of this sentiment across different life stages, from idealized childhood bonds to the complexities of adult affections, containing themes such as deception, isolation, hope and loss.
The next analysis by Simona Catrinel Avarvarei delves into the complexities of Elif Shafak’s novel The Island of Missing Trees, which reveals, through the use of flashbacks and shifting narrative threads, the forbidden love between Kostas, an Orthodox Greek-Cypriot plant scientist, and Defne, a Muslim Turkish-Cypriot archaeologist, experienced on the island of Cyprus in the wake of the 1974 Turkish invasion. The study shows how Shafak’s novel blends personal and historical narratives, employing the fig tree as a powerful metaphor to bridge the human and the natural realms.
By weaving together timeless narratives with contemporary analysis, the present volume uncovers what makes affairs of the heart both deeply personal and universally resonant. It is a celebration of feelings’ power to connect us across time and space, a reminder that while the language of love may differ, its essence remains a common thread in all human experience.
