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.
有點雞肋。可能因為我已經比較熟悉他的愛情觀瞭,所以沒有什麼新鮮感。他在YouTube的School of Life很好。His delivery on stage is better than his writing.
評分這本書聽作者的演講已經足夠,彆人的感情看起來實在平淡無趣。
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.”
評分這是一本我以後一定會在人生不同階段重新撿起來讀很多遍的書,也是我但願和前男友一起讀過的書,還是我會推薦給閨蜜和哥們的書,更是我一定會在結婚前要求我的未來男朋友讀完並且和我討論的書。
評分婚姻真實的樣子。接受彆人和自己的不完美
从『浪漫笔记』到『爱的进化论』,阿兰•德波顿从未让我们失望。中间二十多年,似乎也见证了他本人爱情观的进化。当然,不变的是对人性的体察和宽容,对世界的遗憾与无奈。 这世界上没有什么无法从逻辑角度去分析的事情,除了爱情,否则就不会有那么多文学艺术作品去表现它。...
評分阿兰德波顿 (Alain De Botton)出生于瑞士,成长于英国,精通英法德西四国语言;毕业于剑桥大学,23岁便发表第一部作品《爱情笔记》(Essays in Love),被许多媒体称为“英伦才子”。 德波顿不是一位真正的小说家,他认为自己“讲不来故事,发明不了人物。”尽管《爱情笔记》...
評分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...
