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.

評分與《愛情筆記》相比,《愛上浪漫》故事情節更具體瞭,也更像是一本小說。盡管延續著阿蘭德波頓隨筆式的寫作風格,充滿沉思與評論性的語言,但是小說終歸還是要落到人物上來。艾麗絲與埃裏剋的愛情故事讓我找到瞭一種似曾相識的感覺,不知不覺就和曾經我見證過的一段感情對上瞭...

評分 評分對於愛情,我稍年輕些的時候,總以它作為我生活幸福的標準。有人愛,有人愛我,我便是幸福的;如果缺一,則幸福無從談起。我以為我懂,但是現在想想,那些都是年輕時的激情,荷爾濛的驅使讓我對於愛情有一種“犧牲一切”的渴望。 不過慢慢地,經過幾次傷心,我也開始收斂,開...
