Review
"The Romantic Movement sheds light on the nature of relationships . . . The method of telling much and showing little produces a good deal of wit, cogency, and humor."--John Updike, The New Yorker
"A reader gets whiffs of Donald Barthelme, Julian Barnes, Woody Allen, the films of Eric Rohmer . . . Mr. de Botton borrows exuberantly, and well, from his forebears . . . therein lies the buoyant charm of the approach."--Lisa Zeidner, The New York Times Book Review

Product Description
In The Romantic Movement, Alain de Botton explores the progress of a love affair from first meeting to breaking up, intercut with musings on the nature of art of love. The relationship between Alice, an advertising executive, and Eric, a banker, is examined at every stage, supplemented by quizzes and line drawings by the author and commentary by a chorus of great philosophers, from Descartes to Plato to Aretha Franklin. The Romantic Movement will charm readers and lovers alike with wit, insight, and intelligence.

评分 评分对于爱情,我稍年轻些的时候,总以它作为我生活幸福的标准。有人爱,有人爱我,我便是幸福的;如果缺一,则幸福无从谈起。我以为我懂,但是现在想想,那些都是年轻时的激情,荷尔蒙的驱使让我对于爱情有一种“牺牲一切”的渴望。 不过慢慢地,经过几次伤心,我也开始收敛,开...
是我们相爱的第一部 也是最爱的一部 试图用理智的笔触捉摸爱情中种种的不稳定 令我们重新审视了 人们对爱情的追求
评分这个文笔还是不错的,写法也很有意思。
