Essays In Love
Essays in Love is a stunningly original love story.
Taking in Aristotle, Wittgenstein, history, religion and Groucho Marx, Alain de Botton charts the progress of a love affair from the first kiss to argument and reconciliation, from intimacy and tenderness to the onset of anxiety and heartbreak.
Essays in Love is a wholly modern attempt to define the age-old dilemmas of the heart.
"What a refreshing change from much contemporary fiction" (Evening Standard)
"A dazzlingly original, erudite and witty journey through all the vagaries of romantic love" (Josephine Hart)
