Alain de Botton was born in Zurich, Switzerland in 1969 and now lives in London. He is a writer of essayistic books that have been described as a ‘philosophy of everyday life.’ He’s written on love, travel, architecture and literature. His books have been bestsellers in 30 countries.
Alain also started and helps to run a school in London called The School of Life, dedicated to a new vision of education. Alain’s latest book will be published in April 2016 and is titled The Course of Love.
Alain started writing at a young age. His first book, Essays in Love [titled On Love in the US], was published when he was twenty-three.
In Edinburgh, a couple, Rabih and Kirsten, fall in love. They get married. They have children. Society tells us this is the end of the story. In fact, it is only the beginning.
From the author of Essays in Love comes the long-awaited and beguiling sequel, which charts the complex and intricate course of a long-term relationship.
We all know the headiness and excitement of love’s early days, but what can be expected over a shared lifetime? We follow our couple – Rabih and Kristen – from the first flush of infatuation through to inevitable disenchantments and then onto the freedom and insights of maturity. The Course of Love is a novel that explores not so much the start of love, as its maintenance over time; the way our ideals bend and reform under the pressures of an average existence, and the magnificent, sometimes frightening, developments we can make as we slowly realise that love is in essence a skill we need to learn rather than an enthusiasm we simply experience.
Playful, wise, and profoundly moving, The Course of Love is an unparalleled meditation on modern relationships —and a delightful return to the novel for Alain, more than 20 years after Essays in Love.

評分这是第一次看有关婚姻与爱情的书籍,我一直都比较排斥此类书籍,特别是对外国作者更是抱有偏见,觉得可能并不适合中国国情,但很幸运,没有错过这本书!我喜欢它细致的分析,我想这与它的翻译者也有莫大的关联,她必定也是对绵密的生活有着超于常人的体悟,生活的纹理如此清晰...
評分 評分作者有敏锐的观察力,优美的文笔,但是也就到此为止了 -- 又或者,爱情也就只是如此这般的东西。不论爱上的是谁,和谁结为连理,都会变得憎恨对方,无性,对诱惑心头惴惴,在争吵和冷战中抚养大孩子,变老。 这种称为人生的旅程,名为婚姻的誓言里,你像感受病痛一样感受到了...
我是有多絕望纔去買瞭這種情感指南
评分和他另一本寫感情的書一樣,幾乎句句不是說齣心聲就是引起思考。
评分The italicised rumination seems rather arbitrary and disconnected from the flow of the story and the thoughts of the characters. The moving ultimate section is probably its redemptive feature.
评分試瞭好幾次還是沒有讀完,實在不能relate
