About This Book
Alain de Botton combines two unlikely genres--literary biography and self-help
manual--in the hilarious and unexpectedly practical How Proust Can Change Your
Life.
Who would have thought that Marcel Proust, one of the most important writers of
our century, could provide us with such a rich source of insight into how best
to live life? Proust understood that the essence and value of life was the sum
of its everyday parts. As relevant today as they were at the turn of the
century, Proust's life and work are transformed here into a no-nonsense guide
to, among other things, enjoying your vacation, reviving a relationship,
achieving original and uncliched articulation, being a good host, recognizing
love, and understanding why you should never sleep with someone on a first date.
It took de Botton to find the inspirational in Proust's essays, letters and
fiction and, perhaps even more surprising, to draw out a vivid and clarifying
portrait of the master from between the lines of his work.
Here is Proust as we have never seen or read him before: witty, intelligent,
pragmatic. He might well change your life.
