Astazi il aniversez pe Alain de Botton


Astazi filozoful Alain de Botton implineste 43 de ani. Pentru ca este unul dintre scriitorii mei preferati, astazi imi voi aminti cu drag de toate cartile sale citite pana in prezent.

Pentru cei care nu stiu, Alain de Botton s-a nascut intr-o

familie de evrei sefarzi, la Zurich si este un adevarat calator si un bon vivant.

L-am descoperit pe Botton in urma cu aproape 7 ani, cand am citit “Sex, shopping si un roman”. A fost genul acela de carte care imi doream sa nu se mai termine. Apoi au urmat “Eseuri de indragostit”, “Arhitectura fericirii”, “Consolarile filozofiei” si vreau sa citesc si “How Proust Can Change Your Life” si “A week in the airport”, carte scrisa in urma invitatiei companiei British Airways, in urma cu aproape trei ani . Botton a stat zi de zi in Aeroportul Heathrow, in Terminalul 5 si i-a studiat pe pasageri, activitate pe care o practic si eu de cate ori calatoresc. Este foarte interesant sa ai rolul de observator relaxat. Si mai vreau sa vad filmul “My last Five girlfriends” al regizorului Julian Kemp, ecranizat dupa “Eseuri de indragostit”.

Incerc sa citesc ce scrie Botton si o fac cu mare placere, de fiecare data. Va recomand blogul sau, http://www.alaindebotton.com/blog/

Citate preferate din Alain de Botton:

“One of the best protections against disappointment is to have a lot going on.”

“You normally have to be bashed about a bit by life to see the point of daffodils, sunsets and uneventful nice days.”

“What is a snob? A snob is anybody who takes a small part of you and uses that to come to a complete vision of who you are. That is snobbery.”
