Curiously practical—this no-nonsense blend of literary biography and self-help unravels how interesting life can be if only you could resist the impulse to rush through the mundane rituals of modern life. Every morning, Marcel Proust sipped his two cups of strong coffee with milk, ate a croissant from one boulangerie, dunking it in his coffee as he slowly read the day’s paper with great care—poring over each headline and section.Only Alain de Botton could have pulled so many useful...

For, in this stylish, erudite and frequently hilarious book, de Botton dips deeply into Proust’s life and work - his fiction, letter, and conversations - and distils from them that rare self-help manual: one that is actually helpful.

" Ceux qui, aux alentours de 1965, avaient entre vingt et trente ans, ont alors rencontré un nombre exceptionnel de maîtres dans le champ de la philosophie.Les anciens comme Sartre, Lacan ou Canguilhem, étaient encore en pleine activité ; d'un peu plus jeunes, comme Althusser, déployaient leur œuvre, et toute une génération, les Deleuze, Foucault, Derrida, entrait dans l'arène. Tous ces maîtres, aujourd'hui, sont morts. La scène philosophique, largement peuplée d'impos...

Despite being South Africa’s capital city, Pretoria has often played a supporting role to bold and brash Johannesburg and Cape Town’s cosmopolitan charms. However, when it comes to architectural heritage, the Jacaranda City is well-endowed. From the skyline-dominating Union Buildings and Voortrekker Monument, to the imposing edifices of its administrative precincts, Pretoria might be deserving of a second moniker: the city of sandstone, brick and granite. But when you look beyond the impre...
