Four Levels of Love

Book excerpt: In the heavenly Olympus, a final battle with the Lord of Darkness, who wants to plunge humanity into the darkness of despair and kill the love in their hearts, is approaching. Zeus decides to violate all divine principles and intervenes in the fates of two earthlings to prevent this from happening. After a wild party in Munich with a group of best friends, an American actor finds himself in a senior house in a small German village where he has to work for four weeks as a punishment for driving under the influence. There, in this godforsaken place, he meets an extraordinary woman: a nurse from a small Central European country, who will forever change his view of love. What is love? And is there really only one love? How many levels does love have? And what is the male code? He begins to ask himself these questions as his heart is struck by Eros' arrow. He is torn between his love for a woman from whom a seemingly insurmountable barrier separates him and his anger over his destiny.
