El arte de amar
by OvidOvidio nació en el año 43 a. C. en Sulmo, no muy lejos de Roma, y murió desterrado en una remota aldea del Ponto, Tomis. El arte de amar y El remedio del amor, entre otros motivos, ocasionaron su destierro, que le fue impuesto por Augusto, quien permaneció siempre implacable a los ruegos del poeta para que le permitiese regresar a Roma. Escritos con refinamiento poético, con talante lúdico y un tanto irónico, muy atentos a las escenas amorosas y a las peripecias eróticas, utilizando con desenfado los antiguos mitos clásicos, estos libros son tratados con ligereza, e incluso con "levedad", que es lo que confiere a su autor una modernidad indiscutible. Están inspirados por una misteriosa mujer, Corina, que no sabemos si corresponde a una figura real, pero que Los amores hicieron tan famosa como la Lesbia de Catulo, o la Cintia de Propercio.

Siempre ha confiado en que su gran belleza le abriría las puertas a un buen matrimonio, pero pasa el tiempo, va cumpliendo años y se le acaban las oportunidades. Entre las alumnas, es la doncella a la que todas quieren recurrir en sus salidas, pero no por su simpatía, sino porque Lucy acepta pequeñas sumas de dinero a cambio de dejar que se vayan solas a hacer sus travesuras, en vez de acompañarlas a todas partes, como es su deber. Gerald Perkins IV es el heredero de una larga estirpe de ricos abogados, lo que, teniendo en cuenta que él quiere ser pintor, ha condicionado negativamente su vida. Presionado por su abuelo para que siente la cabeza, se case y se dedique de una vez al mundo legal, ha decidido esconderse una temporada en algún sitio, donde creará la obra maestra que le abrirá las puertas de la fama. Elige Minstrel Valley porque su buen amigo Marcus Hale, marqués de Northcott se lo recomienda, y se presenta allí bajo la falsa identidad de un pintor con pocos recursos que trata de abrirse camino como puede en la vida. Lucy y Gerald se conocen y se sienten atraídos el uno por el otro, pero ambos piensan que no se convienen. ¿Podrá el amor plasmarse sobre el lienzo de sus vidas, antes de que uno de ellos cometa un error irreversible?
