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)
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.'

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...
评分不久之前,blogsphere流行回答普鲁斯特问卷 注释:关于普鲁斯特问卷:著名的普鲁斯特问卷(Proust Questionnaire)由一系列问题组成,问题包括被提问者的生活、思想、价值观及人生经验等。 因《追忆逝水年华》闻名的大作家Marcel·Proust并不是这份问卷的发明者,但这份问卷...
评分如果简单地叙述, 这个句子是这样的: 今天下午我买了一本<拥抱逝水年华>. 但这个原名How Proust can change your life的小册子使我更倾向于用另一种表达方式: 在被我可爱的第二号小叔, 准确地说是被他和在未来存在那么一点可能性成为我的婶婶的女孩子--她甚至比我还年少两岁...

评分一口气读完了阿兰.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...
章节水准参差不齐,有的蛮有共鸣,有的部分比较牵强。三星半。
评分有点闷这本...
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De Botton的书就像他的文学笔记,讲故事的方式还蛮新颖的,就是看久了觉得有点……太没有自己的观点~~~
评分阿兰的文笔向来轻松诙谐又富有哲理,真心好呢。
