Beschreibung
The New York Timesbestselling author's modern classic that ';takes a conventional love story and textures it with philosophical ruminations' (Kirkus Reviews). A man and a woman meet over casual conversation on a flight from Paris to London, and so begins a love storyfrom first kiss to first argument, elation to heartbreak, and everything in between. Each stage of the relationship is illuminated with starling clarity, as novelist and philosopher Alain de Botton explores young love and its emotions, often felt but rarely understood. With a brilliant new introduction by Sheila Heti, theNew York Times-bestselling author ofHow Should a Person Be?, On Loveis a contemporary classic from an author ';who seems to have been born to write' (The Boston Globe). ';Smart and ironicThe book's success has much to do with its beautifully modeled sentences, its wry humor, and its unwavering deadpan respect for the readers intelligence.' Francine Prose,New Republic ';Witty, funny, sophisticatedfull of wise and illuminating insights.' P.J. Kavanagh,Spectator
