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.
这确实不能算是一本小说,起码不是传统意义上的小说。就像阿兰所说的“我知道我不是诗人,我也知道我不是小说家(我说不来故事,我发明不了人物)”。 这个故事没有很细腻的景物的描画,没有感情发展中起起落落的细腻清晰的描述,只是选取了爱情生活的一些典型有代表意...

评分里面的女主角和我的相似度超乎了我的想象 很多的坏毛病也是一模一样的 如果在生活中遇上Erik,我大概也会和她一样爱上他,痛苦地爱着他,不停地折磨着自己 这样一个故事 让我在孤独了这么久后找到知己 让我爱上"阿兰德波顿"
my love
评分这个文笔还是不错的,写法也很有意思。
评分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。
评分每次看Alain De Botton 都是这样 前五十页拍案叫绝 机智幽默 剩下200多页味如嚼蜡。。。聪慧都不见了乏味的想讲大道理又没有足够深度。。。╮(╯_╰)╭
