Romantic Movement: Sex, Shopping, and the Novel | Alain de Botton

2 posts | 3 read | 3 to read

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.

Romantic Movement: Sex, Shopping, and the Novel | Alain de Botton

This is my third copy of this book. (I lend it, it disappears, my heart breaks; I never learn.) A friend found this in a secondhand bookstore in London. Its previous owner underlined passages. I don't mind--I like seeing what affected other people. I guess Bergman was very significant to him or her. (My sister and I speculated about this quite a bit 😂) Tsismosa.

Chachic Next time you can try looking for used copies on Better World Books? 8y

mirenbflores @Chachic Thanks for the tip! Though sometimes it's nice to go book hunting. Until it becomes frustrating 😂 8y
