他不乏米蘭·昆德拉的批評深度,深具羅蘭·巴特爾的解構氣質;但,他比昆德拉有更立體的愛情思維,比巴特爾更熨帖戀人的愛情神經。他激活我們全新的閱讀體驗。

We all know the headiness and excitement of the early days of love. But what comes after? In Edinburgh, a couple, Rabih and Kirsten, fall in love. They get married, they have children—but no long-term relationship is as simple as “happily ever after.” The Course of Love is a novel that explores what happens after the birth of love, what it takes to maintain love, and what happens to our original ideals under the pressures of an average existence. You experience, along with Rabih and Kirsten, the first flush of infatuation, the effortlessness of falling into romantic love, and the course of life thereafter. Interwoven with their story and its challenges is an overlay of philosophy—an annotation and a guide to what we are reading.
This is a Romantic novel in the true sense, one interested in exploring how love can survive and thrive in the long term. The result is a sensory experience—fictional, philosophical, psychological—that urges us to identify deeply with these characters, and to reflect on his and her own experiences in love. Fresh, visceral, and utterly compelling, The Course of Love is a provocative and life-affirming novel for everyone who believes in love.

在看其他心理學小說的時候,我會不由自主地被情節帶入,進而開始自我剖析。邊讀邊自我檢視和反思的過程往往帶給我很多領悟。但是這一次不同。 看這本書時,我的內心是抗拒的,用心理學的話來說,這是遇到瞭“阻抗”。書中描寫夫妻間衝突、爭執、冷戰等情節的時候,仿佛把我父母...

評分跟著這本書,走過瞭一對平凡夫妻從相知、相識、養育子女、到婚姻中齣現的種種障礙和彷徨、再到矛盾解決迴復平靜生活的各個階段。不狗血,不誇張,不做作,難得的是好像如此真實的故事,作者阿蘭·德波頓又能以這種極高的文學錶現手法予以錶達,亦可以看做真實婚姻生活心理切片...
評分在大部分愛情故事中,王子和公主經曆重重險阻之後,有情人終成眷屬之後就會戛然而止,以一句“live happily ever after(從此幸福的生活在一起)”草草結束。就好像這倆人不是結婚、而是死後上瞭天堂一樣(可能講齣“婚姻是愛情的墳墓”的人也是這樣想的)。這些從孩提時代就讀...

"The trick is perhaps not to start a new life but to learn to reconsider the old one with less jaded and habituated eyes." 德波頓用副標題說這是一本小說,但其實還是一本愛情隨筆,從《愛情筆記》再到這本書的調調,讀起來總是愉快的。
評分Love and/or romance.
評分Little aesthetic claim. Some great truths in the wake of a kind of middle-aged pragmatic pessimism. This makes me dread marriage and maturity. ????
評分A must-read before you decide to tie the knot.
評分三分給包頓的語言,一如既往地給人上課。包頓成不瞭小說傢,把講稿包上個美麗的皮兒。
