这是第一次看有关婚姻与爱情的书籍,我一直都比较排斥此类书籍,特别是对外国作者更是抱有偏见,觉得可能并不适合中国国情,但很幸运,没有错过这本书!我喜欢它细致的分析,我想这与它的翻译者也有莫大的关联,她必定也是对绵密的生活有着超于常人的体悟,生活的纹理如此清晰...
评分我终于明白了,一对夫妻如果想扛住漫长的婚姻岁月到白头,要么女方极能忍耐,要么男方深刻悔悟。我不够能忍,他也没有悔悟。所以分手是再自然不过的事情。 他期望我改变,我期望他改变,互相抱怨。 我冷静理智想讲道理,他喋喋不休尽爱废话,无法忍受。 他出轨是离婚的导火索,...
评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...

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.
很喜欢Alain de Botton这个叨叨王,这本里也有很多到位的道理,但是这本书,它整体就是平庸,完全没有20年前出道时那本essays in love的轻盈。

评分有了爱情以后就再也不可能断舍离啦
评分这是一本我以后一定会在人生不同阶段重新捡起来读很多遍的书,也是我但愿和前男友一起读过的书,还是我会推荐给闺蜜和哥们的书,更是我一定会在结婚前要求我的未来男朋友读完并且和我讨论的书。
评分婚姻真实的样子。接受别人和自己的不完美
