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.
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.
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。
評分浪漫不等於愛情,愛情不等於婚姻。關係的維係是門學問,隻是人們不願或懶得去保持理性對待。 這本書讀得有些吃力,很多道理於我來說非常theoretical,理解的程度蜻蜓點水。讀到中間部分一度對婚姻這個概念産生瞭極度厭惡,如果拋開物質層麵的被迫選擇,我實在想不通人究竟為什麼要結婚。不過看到最後,還是多少能夠理解那些選擇瞭婚姻的人;失望是常態,但那些片刻的幸福似乎又讓一切變得值得。也不知道這些理解對不對,打算過幾年再來讀一遍。
評分“Ideally, art would give us the answers that other people don’t. This might even be one of the main points of literature: to tell us what society at large is too prudish to explore.” “Neither he nor she has to be perfect, he reflects; they only need to give each other the odd sign they know they can sometimes be quite hard to live with.”

关于婚姻的随笔小说。 第三人称上帝式的视角,每写一段情节再来一段心理学家评述式的话语。情节极其简单,但是写作的细节足够细腻,而且翻译也有一点韵味,值得一读。 最开始阅读这本书是因为看这本书的梗概说里面有婚外情但最终婚姻却更进一步,我想知道夫妻两人是如何做到这...
評分总觉得作者在我的房间的阴暗小角落装了一个监控器。又或是在我隐蔽的心底。三年来在不稳定的工作,矛盾冲突爆发的家庭生活,子女教育和夫妻关系里撕裂拉扯。青年时代开始崇尚的个人主义和完美主义日益沉淀,让浪漫主义婚姻观多年来扎根于心。于是在日复一日的纷杂争吵后,总会...

評分最喜欢的章节是一地鸡毛,还有双向出轨那段也喜欢。我们必须做好充足的准备才可以踏入婚姻,有些矛盾早发生不是什么坏事。我看过的另一本书《社会动物》里面也有类似的情节,那本书描写的视角更好玩,让人觉得一个具体的人不重要,那本书本身就是在讲社会学常识。而阿兰这本书...
