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.
很久以来,我都期待着能有这样一本书,能像手术刀一样冷静地剖析恋爱,不带一点自私的色彩。《爱上浪漫》做到了。德波顿也是少有的能把自己哲学、心理学、艺术等方面的知识不加掩饰地运用在写作中,而不显得卖弄的作家。这是部爱情小说,却丝毫不拖泥带水,图例、表格的...
评分 评分你焦虑吗? 当你久等一个人,而这个人不出现的时候,你焦虑吗?当你终于等来这个人,可是他乏味且无趣,完全不知道浪漫为何物的时候,你焦虑吗?当你憧憬浪漫,却被周遭的人告知:“少做梦,现实一点。”这样一盆凉水兜头浇下的时候,你焦虑吗? 你有没有反问过自己,追求浪漫...
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...
作为一个写爱情的作者,alain de botton是非常逻辑缜密的人,他的故事不是单纯阐述一个爱情故事,他可以从顺叙一个爱情故事当中捕捉其中的普遍理论,这是我在看这本书当中最佩服他的一点。
评分原来谈恋爱的时候人会死那么多脑细胞啊。。剑桥文学系的文字功底果真不是盖的(好难理解啊有些句式),看起来再简单不过的词都被他拓展出新用法,宗教哲学艺术心理各个也都是信手拈来毫不费力。且希望自己视野开阔一些英语好一些的时候能再细读一遍,毕竟女主跟自己太像???????????? 也推de botton的essays in love 和 how to think more about sex
