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.
与《爱情笔记》相比,《爱上浪漫》故事情节更具体了,也更像是一本小说。尽管延续着阿兰德波顿随笔式的写作风格,充满沉思与评论性的语言,但是小说终归还是要落到人物上来。艾丽丝与埃里克的爱情故事让我找到了一种似曾相识的感觉,不知不觉就和曾经我见证过的一段感情对上了...
評分其成名作"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~
評分第一次读阿兰德波顿的书刚好失恋。一向自视高傲的我也会为了一个其貌不扬的男人低头,愿意做任何事只为挽回这段感情。一直自认为在感情中占据主导地位的我习惯了依赖,叛逆,却不知感情并不是123加减乘除那样简单。那段时间,笑过,哭过,痛过,在自己的世界无法自拔,直到看到...
評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"
每次看Alain De Botton 都是這樣 前五十頁拍案叫絕 機智幽默 剩下200多頁味如嚼蠟。。。聰慧都不見瞭乏味的想講大道理又沒有足夠深度。。。╮(╯_╰)╭
评分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my love
评分赤裸裸的心理分析小說,值得一讀
