Love is the life-giving spirit, the axle on which the world turns, the infinite tenderness of God for His creation. It is also the love between women and men. Desires ethereal, ardent, even animalistic, "The Book of Good Love" honours them all. This study edition contains commentary on the text.

Book of Good Love, Kent Kane translation,
By
This review is from: The Book of Good Love (Paperback)
Nobody translates the «fun» in the Book of Good Love the way EKK does. There are many good translations but, if you must read it in translation, and you wish to feel the Archpriest's playfulness, this is the one to read.

The Spanish Chauser,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Book of Good Love (Paperback)
This is the translation of a Spanish book by an archpriest. It was then consisdered by many to be vulgar, but Elisha Kane, the translator of this volume found it to be most interesting and, with his brillant translation, shows the reader how so. It is full of wit and makes a wide use of play on words. It is the story of a busybody named Trotaconventos who sticks his nose into other people's business - especially when it involves love. He tells of a clergyman who gets involved with a woman. The book questions the distinction between sacred and romantic love. Should a man of the church be above reproach? Kane has illustrated the rhyming quatrains with impish cartoons. Kane was a professor of Romance Languages when he did the translation.
