Three in Love: Menages a Trois from Ancient to Modern Times

From Adam, Eve and the serpent to Henry, June and Anais, the menage a trois has long been part of the landscape of human love. Explored in art and flirted with in films, the menage is taboo for some and the private daydream of others. But the menage has also been the daily, loving reality of a remarkable number of people throughout history and in modern times as well.In the first book on the menage a trois ever written for a popular audience, Barbara and Michael Foster and Letha Hadady -- themselves a partnership of ten years' standing -- chronicle the real story of love's threesomes. Revealing the truth about history's best known trios -- from Abraham, Sarah and Hagar, to Jack Kerouac and Neal and Carolyn Cassady, to financier Warren Buffett, Christina Buffett and Astrid Menks -- and tracing the menage's apperance in art, film and fiction, the authors offer a deft, intelligent and often startling portrait of the menage. And through the story of their own threefold love, the authors expose the menage's most astonishing secret: Far more than a sexual adventure, the threesome can be a devoted, stable and lifelong partnership.
