In The Kiss, Immanuel Löw, author of the monumental work titled Die Flora der Juden (Flora of the Jews; 1926–1934), gives a comprehensive and multi-faceted overview of the cultural history of the kiss, describing the act of kissing as a motif and the phenomenon of kissing from linguistic, anthropologic, religious, historical, legal, folkloristic, eschatological, and poetic points of view, using sources from a variety of cultural contexts.
This edition of The
Kiss, translated, annotated, and introduced by Dóra Pataricza and Mercédesz Czimbalmos, preserves one of the extraordinary accomplishments of this invaluable figure of Hungarian Jewish thought.
