Alain de Botton was born in Zurich, Switzerland in 1969 and now lives in London.
He is a writer of essayistic books, which refer both to his own experiences and ideas- and those of artists, philosophers and thinkers. It's a style of writing that has been termed a 'philosophy of everyday life.'

The starting point of How Proust can change your Life is that a great novel can be nothing less than life-transforming. This is an unusual claim: our education system, while stressing that novels are highly worthwhile, rarely investigates why this is so. How Proust can change your Life takes Marcel Proust’s In Search of Lost Time as the basis for a sustained investigation into the power and significance of literature. Proust’s novel, almost a byword for obscurity and irrelevance, emerges as an invaluable source of insight into the workings of love, society, art and the meaning of existence.
The book reveals Proust’s thoughts on how to revive a relationship, choose a good doctor, enjoy a holiday, make friends and respond to insult. A vivid portrait of the eccentric yet deeply sympathetic author is built up out of extracts from his letters, essays and fiction and is combined with a commentary on the power of literature to change our lives. A self-help book like few others.(extracted from Alaindebotton.com)
一口气读完了阿兰.德波顿的《拥抱逝水年华》,喜欢德波顿行云流水、信手拈来的感觉。 下面是这本书的简单的一些书摘: * 一旦明白终有一死,放弃了永生之念,我们会忽然发现,在看似冗长无聊的生活表层之下,藏着那么多人们未加尝试的可能性。 * "别太快"似乎是普鲁...
评分阿兰·德波顿的书读完了《爱上浪漫》和《拥抱似水年华》,满身都是舒服之感。学识渊博的表现并不是说些不着边际的大话假话空话来迷惑世人来显示自己的高深,成为所谓的名著。它应该像德波顿说的那样,一本好书就是一次交谈,轻松自在,不在于学到什么谈资之类的东西,因为你只...
评分读德波顿的书是种奇怪的感觉,阅读时全心投入感慨万千,一切结束之后我就无比沮丧起来。在书中他写到伍尔芙读完【追忆似水年华】的感觉,正像自己读完【拥抱逝水年华】:要是能写得像他那么好多好啊。伍尔芙说【追忆似水年华】像一片沼泽般令她望而却步,她害怕自己若沉下去...
评分此书不好地方就是标题,不如把原有标题翻译过来用,硬与逝水年华扯上关系着实不是高明的举动。再说好的地方:其一,对于想读逝水年华的人,此书是很好的开胃菜或者试金石,看过普鲁斯特其人,再考虑要不要花大时间、大精力去阅读与体味逝水年华,比起盲目拿来读会好得多;其二...

阿兰的文笔向来轻松诙谐又富有哲理,真心好呢。
评分一直以来对德波顿不感冒,但是这本书作为《追忆》的“读后感”来看的话,有他有意思的地方。不仅仅因为提供了一些可作谈资的普鲁斯特的八卦,而且也分享了一些读书及其他观念的角度问题。书的最后讲到不要让一本好书禁锢你,让你变得沉默,这其实也是我经常会遇到的困惑。
评分被波顿萌损下的普罗斯特在我心中就一个更多愁善感的Sheldon LOL 我从你身上学到不少呢~
评分生活也许不会有什么改变,只是读的很舒服。
评分章节水准参差不齐,有的蛮有共鸣,有的部分比较牵强。三星半。
