Each stage of the relationship is illuminated with startling clarity, as Alain de Botton explores emotions often felt but rarely understood.<br><br><b>With the verve of a novelist and the insight of a philosopher, de Botton uncovers the mysteries of the human heart. <i>Essays In Love</i> is an iconic book – one that should be read by anyone who has ever fallen in love.</b></p>
