Product Description
In The Romantic Movement, Alain de Botton explores the progress of a love affair from first meeting to breaking up, intercut with musings on the nature of art of love. The relationship between Alice, an advertising executive, and Eric, a banker, is examined at every stage, supplemented by quizzes and line drawings by the author and commentary by a chorus of great philosophers, from Descartes to Plato to Aretha Franklin. The Romantic Movement will charm readers and lovers alike with wit, insight, and intelligence.
Alain de Botton was born in Switzerland in 1969, educated at Cambridge, and lives in London. He is the author of The Romantic Movement (Picador) and How Proust Can Change Your Life. His first novel, On Love, was published in fifteen countries, and was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Award for Fiction.
原来谈恋爱的时候人会死那么多脑细胞啊。。剑桥文学系的文字功底果真不是盖的（好难理解啊有些句式），看起来再简单不过的词都被他拓展出新用法，宗教哲学艺术心理各个也都是信手拈来毫不费力。且希望自己视野开阔一些英语好一些的时候能再细读一遍，毕竟女主跟自己太像🌚🌝🌚 也推de botton的essays in love 和 how to think more about sex

several months later, or in the later relationships, you'll find the words in it are quite meaningful.
