The Other Face Of Love by Raymond De Becker

'The other face of 'normal' love, that of homosexual love, has been regarded at different times and in different societies throughout history as inversion, perversion, a symbol of the highest philosophical good or of the lowest moral degradation, as a mark of insanity, divinity, or even normality.

In this work, Raymond de Becker attempts to look at history of love between two persons of the same sex in the context of myth, literature, legal codes, religion, art, and psychology.

There has never been a book quite like this, that attempts without censure, praise, or judgement to see love between men and between women in its historical, scientific, and artistic context.

A book that will, no doubt, shock some and outrage others, nevertheless, this book may prove, contrary to ancient superstition and modern prejudice, that no matter what form or practice it takes, love has only one face after all.'
