Review
"The Romantic Movement sheds light on the nature of relationships . . . The method of telling much and showing little produces a good deal of wit, cogency, and humor."--John Updike, The New Yorker
"A reader gets whiffs of Donald Barthelme, Julian Barnes, Woody Allen, the films of Eric Rohmer . . . Mr. de Botton borrows exuberantly, and well, from his forebears . . . therein lies the buoyant charm of the approach."--Lisa Zeidner, The New York Times Book Review

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.

评分前不久有位豆瓣上的朋友问我买了几本德波顿的书,我告诉她我一本也没买,都是在图书馆借看的,这跟我买书成癖的习惯好像不一致。 他的确是才子,笔下十分开阔,以这本《爱上浪漫》为例,写得生动而不拘一格,经常出现图表来说明。他就像位心理学家、社会学家,在挖掘人心时细...
Wrote every aspect of love life, how the couple interacts and what’s the deeper philosophical meaning of it. Love “who makes the effort” section, like a game evolving to two possible equilibria — marriage or breakup.
