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)
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,...
评分普鲁斯特怎样改变你的生活.. 当你伤怀之时 躺到温暖的床上去 在暖和的被中 一切的努力 挣扎 都已放弃 此时即或蒙头大放悲声 瑟瑟发抖呼号如秋风中的寒枝 也自有一份惬意 有谁能真的理解恋床者的心情呢 不要责怪他懒惰或散漫 他只是想得到一个属于自己的安全角落 放松紧张的身...
评分知道德伯顿是因为一篇关于旅行的文章,大概是叫《旅行的艺术》,不知道是不时后来同名的散文集中的一篇。号称英伦才子,拉杂、优雅、舒徐有致的语言风格,厚实而内敛的资料,都叫人觉得新京报的专栏作家太偷懒了(因为没有知识全是午睡后的口水),而沈宏非太土(因为他恨不得...
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...

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~
