Two authorities on popular culture reveal the ways in which art can enhance mood and enrich lives - now available in paperback This passionate, thought-provoking, often funny, and always-accessible book proposes a new way of looking at art, suggesting that it can be useful, relevant, and therapeutic. Through practical examples, the world-renowned authors argue that certain great works of art have clues as to how to manage the tensions and confusions of modern life. Chapters on love, nature, money, and politics show how art can help with many common difficulties, from forging good relationships to coming to terms with mortality.
Biography (Alain de Botton)
Alain de Botton, geb. 1969 in der Schweiz, hat nach dem Studium der Geschichte und Philosophie rasch seinen Weg zur Literatur gefunden. Kosmopolit und phantasievoller Flaneur der Kultur- und Geistesgeschichte, hat er sich mit seinen mittlerweile sechs Büchern, die in zahlreiche Sprachen übersetzt wurden, einen festen Platz in der jüngeren Literaturgeschichte erschrieben. De Botton lebt in London.
