On Love is globally bestselling novelist-philosopher Alain De
Botton's iconic debut--the novel that launched his decorated
literary career; and a funny, profound, and searingly true-to-life
exploration of love. A man and a woman meet over casual
conversation on a flight from Paris to London, and so begins a love
story--from fist kiss to first argument, elation to heartbreak, and
everything in between. Each stage of the relationship is
illuminated with starling clarity, as de Botton explores emotions
often felt but rarely understood. Now, in tandem with the arrival
of The Course of Love--de Botton's first novel in twenty years and
one about mature love--we celebrate the timeless debut about young
love that serves as The Course of Love's precursor and companion.
Reissued with a brilliant introduction by the New York Times
bestselling author of How Should a Person Be?, Shelia Heti, On Love
is a contemporary classic that should be read by anyone who has
ever fallen in love.
