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.

這確實不能算是一本小說,起碼不是傳統意義上的小說。就像阿蘭所說的“我知道我不是詩人,我也知道我不是小說傢(我說不來故事,我發明不瞭人物)”。 這個故事沒有很細膩的景物的描畫,沒有感情發展中起起落落的細膩清晰的描述,隻是選取瞭愛情生活的一些典型有代錶意...
評分老實說,《愛上浪漫》中的道理早就懂。 而艾麗斯對於她不同年齡層所需要的不同的男人的分析也是正中下懷。現在,在我們還拿著父母的錢招搖撞騙的時候,確實,我們需要的男人是一個可以和你進行心靈交流的人。所以說,大學之前的愛情都是無比純粹的,為愛而愛,電光石火。 所...
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...
評分書是一天看完的.很少有這樣的書,能令人看完後有心悅誠服的感覺. 不是有人說,來自你內心的恐懼和睏惑,源於自己沒有看清自己麼? 看完這本書後.解決瞭我很多疑惑.也讓我知道.在日常與戀人之間的小細節中,男人和女人的思維方式是完全相反的.或許你的一廂情願,給對方造成瞭負擔.亦...
