A revised edition of a classic book on love by the bestselling author of How Proust Can Change Your Life and The Consolations of Philosophy
Alain de Botton is the author of a number of books that try to throw light on the big challenges of our lives. His books have been sold in thirty-five countries and many have been international bestsellers, including How Proust Can Change Your Life, Essays in Love and The Art of Travel. He is the founder of two social enterprises, the first promoting architecture, Living Architecture, which gets top architects to build holiday homes for rental by everyone. The second enterprise is The School of Life.
"Imagine, of all impossible things, a young British Woody Allen
with the benefit of a classical education and you have the nameless
and exquisitely erudite narrator of Essays in Love."
-- "Boston Sunday Globe"
"The book's success has much to do with its beautifully modeled
sentences, its wry humor, its unwavering deadpan respect for its
reader's intelligence." -- Francine Prose in "The New Republic"
