More than twenty years after writing “Essays on Love,” Alain de Botton again turns to this eternal topic. Friends Rabiha and Kirsten always ask them the same question: how did you meet? Oh, it's a happy story they both love to tell. But there is a second part of the story, about what happened next, but for some reason it is not customary to ask about this... Two people find each other, fall in love, get married. Society tells us that this is a happy ending. In fact, this is just the beginning. Alain de Botton's new book about love, romance, marriage and how to survive in it. He explores modern relationships with humor and psychological precision, trying to find the answer to the question that worries everyone: what does it really mean to love and be loved? And is it possible to “live happily ever after”?
