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.'

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)

评分周六的天空灰暗阴沉,如灰色的绒布遮住了阳光和云朵,适合蜗居在家中,我干脆连床都不下捧起《拥抱逝水年华》从起床看到下午,天阴也感觉不到时间的流逝。经常看的咯咯笑起来,有时感觉找到了志同道合者,有时为那些逸事感到惊奇。 先说一下书名,我认为翻译的很到位,虽然与英...

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...
