(P/B) HOW PROUST CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE
Εκδότης: PAN Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3321-0041
'Dazzling' John Updike 'What a marvellous book this is... de Botton dissects what [Proust] had to say about friendship, reading, looking carefully, paying attention taking your time, being alive and adds his own delicious commentary. The result is an intoxicating as it is wise, amusing as well as stimulating, and presented in so fresh a fashion as to be unique . . . I could not stop, and now much start all over again.'

(P/B) THE PLEASURES AND SORROWS OF WORK

The Pleasures and Sorrows of Work is an exploration of the joys and perils of the modern workplace, beautifully evoking what other people get up to all day - and all night - to make the frenzied contemporary world function.
