A unique love story and a classic work of philosophy, rooted in the mysterious workings of the human heart and mind.

With an introduction by Sheila Heti. 'De Botton is a national treasure.' - Susan Hill, author of The Woman in BlackPerhaps it is true that we do not really exist until there is someone there to see us existing, we cannot properly speak until there is someone who can understand what we are saying in essence, we are not wholly alive until we are loved. A man and a woman meet over casual conversation on a flight from Paris to London, and so begins a love story – from first kiss to first argument, elation to heartbreak, and everything in between.

Each stage of the relationship is illuminated with startling clarity, as Alain de Botton explores emotions often felt but rarely understood. With the verve of a novelist and the insight of a philosopher, de Botton uncovers the mysteries of the human heart.

Essays In Love is an iconic book – one that should be read by anyone who has ever fallen in love.
