Based on the possible dialogue given by the relation between psychoanalysis and literature, it is aimed, throughout the literature text enclosed in two novels of Stefan Zweig as resource, to investigate, to develop and to illustrate the concepts of love, feminine and jouissance, alluded in the title of this dissertation. Taking the feminine sexuality as a reference, it is intended to examine the concept of feminine jouissance and its relationship to love, restricting it to a theoretical construct of the psychoanalytic field. For this, the amorous partnership is considered as a privileged way of demonstration and incidence of the phenomenon of devastation for a more detailed elucidation about the main ideas of this work. As a proposal, the development of the theme is based on two axes: from the reassumption of Freud s question what does a woman want?, and Lacan s trajectory with respect to the logic of the subject s sexuation in the conformity of the feminine, and also the concession of madness, or in popular language (in portuguese) pirações, as a woman s insignia related to jouissance and, logically, to love and devastation, aspects found and evidenced in the production of Zweig.
