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)
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.'

(一) 有一道数学题是这样的:小S准备去买一件衬衫,她觉得一般的标价比底价贵20%比较合理。但是一般来说,老板会把报价加到200%。这题问了,如果一件衣服标价200元的话,小S在什么区间跟老板讨价比较合适? 学过算术的,都会做。很简单。 我说的不是题的结果。而是过程...
评分一口气读完了阿兰.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How Proust can -------对于Alain de Botton关于Proust的独到见解的指指点点 翻译者余斌在前言里说:这是一本风趣的书,然而里面不乏一本正经的教诲之言。这是一本教训之书,然而全书贯穿着揶揄调侃的语调。最后只好说这本书于各种成分兼而有之......硬要归类,也许就得拖...
评分我在旅行中的常态,是战时状态。出发前必读旅行手册,地图上做标记,网络上参考攻略,攀比路资,查到家居式旅馆必发邮件问地段讲价钱,再到小心翼翼擦拭相机镜头,写好吃穿住行的便签,随身物一件件对应装箱,这才刚刚开始。到了目的地,一定学究气上涌,对照资料,边看边“解...
评分世界上据说有那么几本书可以砸死人,但是好像没有谁被砸死过。 世界上能砸死人的小说也有那么几本,其中一本叫做《追忆逝水年华》,我第一次看的时候,看不下去,就好像一个腰阔膀大的女人突然站在你面前,脱衣解带。 那一刻,我猜想普鲁斯特一定是一个忧伤到45度角都不够忧...
结论就是,不能对阿兰德波顿投以学术性的期待。╮(╯▽╰)╭
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。
评分德波顿英文的没中文有感觉诶……但是这本的中译本错译漏译情况很严重……真是鸡肋
评分有点闷这本...
评分结论就是,不能对阿兰德波顿投以学术性的期待。╮(╯▽╰)╭
