«Amor y vejez» is the essay by François-René de Chateaubriand, published by Acantilado in paperback (56 pages, in Spanish).
Chateaubriand wrote this meditation when he was already past sixty; in it he reflects on the pathology of passion and, by rejecting a young woman, reveals his vision of love, nostalgia and memory. The edition includes an essay by Marc Fumaroli that considers it a prototype of modern eroticism.
Unpublished until 1922; number 28 of the Cuadernos del Acantilado collection; translation by José Ramón Monreal.
