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.
Alain de Botton was born in Switzerland in 1969, educated at Cambridge, and lives in London. He is the author of The Romantic Movement (Picador) and How Proust Can Change Your Life. His first novel, On Love, was published in fifteen countries, and was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Award for Fiction.

评分其成名作"爱情笔记",用的是男性视角,写着写着就是哲学层次的论述~~灵的~ 不过,作为女生,大概还更会对"爱上浪漫"里爱丽思的所处所感,引起共鸣~~ 一场romantic movement...浑浑噩噩纠缠不清 头晕. 从此洗心革面看待爱情~
评分前不久有位豆瓣上的朋友问我买了几本德波顿的书,我告诉她我一本也没买,都是在图书馆借看的,这跟我买书成癖的习惯好像不一致。 他的确是才子,笔下十分开阔,以这本《爱上浪漫》为例,写得生动而不拘一格,经常出现图表来说明。他就像位心理学家、社会学家,在挖掘人心时细...
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...

Wrote every aspect of love life, how the couple interacts and what’s the deeper philosophical meaning of it. Love “who makes the effort” section, like a game evolving to two possible equilibria — marriage or breakup.

评分阿兰德波顿列表里的第一
评分比起小说更像是一本哲学书。又用了一个多月才啃完,不过看了德波顿的演讲视频之后再看他的书都能随时脑补他本人在诉说的样子...
评分Simply brilliant!
