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)
一口气读完了阿兰.德波顿的《拥抱逝水年华》,喜欢德波顿行云流水、信手拈来的感觉。 下面是这本书的简单的一些书摘: * 一旦明白终有一死,放弃了永生之念,我们会忽然发现,在看似冗长无聊的生活表层之下,藏着那么多人们未加尝试的可能性。 * "别太快"似乎是普鲁...
评分How Proust can -------对于Alain de Botton关于Proust的独到见解的指指点点 翻译者余斌在前言里说:这是一本风趣的书,然而里面不乏一本正经的教诲之言。这是一本教训之书,然而全书贯穿着揶揄调侃的语调。最后只好说这本书于各种成分兼而有之......硬要归类,也许就得拖...
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...
评分我们每每说得到了就会珍惜,最后却总是失去才知原来未曾珍惜到拥有。 在网上看到这样一句话:愿得一人心白首不相离,觉得好温暖。 天气变凉,广州的气候一下子由初夏转至深秋,我已把自己裹得像冬天里的小刺猬,全副武装。 这本书是给东和我借的,在图书馆找了半个小时的书,...
评分我在旅行中的常态,是战时状态。出发前必读旅行手册,地图上做标记,网络上参考攻略,攀比路资,查到家居式旅馆必发邮件问地段讲价钱,再到小心翼翼擦拭相机镜头,写好吃穿住行的便签,随身物一件件对应装箱,这才刚刚开始。到了目的地,一定学究气上涌,对照资料,边看边“解...
德波顿英文的没中文有感觉诶……但是这本的中译本错译漏译情况很严重……真是鸡肋
评分Is Proust against sex before marriage? No, just before love.//Alain真的如此聪明以致四十绝顶么。眼睛很大很明亮。
评分enlightenling...
评分被波顿萌损下的普罗斯特在我心中就一个更多愁善感的Sheldon LOL 我从你身上学到不少呢~
评分屁股先生真的好八卦啊……
