DE BOTTON, ALAIN.

Status Anxiety.

Vintage Books, New York: 2003. Softcover. Good condition. A master explicator of our civilization and its discontents turns his attention to the insatiable quest for status, a quest that has less to do with material comfort than with love. To demonstrate his thesis, de Botton ranges through Western history and thought from St. Augustine to Andrew Carnegie and Machiavelli to Anthony Robbins. Includes an Index.

DE BOTTON, ALAIN

The Architecture of Happiness

New York, Pantheon Books. 2006, First U.S. Edition. (ISBN: 0375424431) Hard Cover with dust jacket, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Collectible, Cloth, 280 pp. illus. index; 22 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Top right corners lightly bumped. Stated "First American Edition." Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "Bestselling author Alain de Botton considers how our private homes and public edifices influence how we feel, and how we could build dwellings in which we would stand a better chance of happiness. In this witty, erudite look at how we shape, and are shaped by, our surroundings, Alain de Botton applies Stendhal's motto that 'Beauty is the promise of happiness' to the spaces we inhabit daily. Why should we pay attention to what architecture has to say to us? de Botton asks provocatively. With his trademark lucidity and humour, de Botton traces how human needs and desires have been served by styles of architecture, from stately Classical to minimalist Modern, arguing that the stylistic choices of a society can represent both its cherished ideals and the qualities it desperately lacks. On an individual level, de Botton has deep sympathy for our need to see our selves reflected in our surroundings; he demonstrates with great wisdom how buildings -- just like friends -- can serve as guardians of our identity. Worrying about the shape of our sofa or the colour of our walls might seem self-indulgent, but de Botton considers the hopes and fears we have for our homes at a new level of depth and insight. When shopping for furniture or remodelling the kitchen, we don't just consider functionality but also the major questions of aesthetics and the philosophy of art: What is beauty? Can beautiful surroundings make us good? Can beauty bring happiness? The buildings we find beautiful, de Botton concludes, are those that represent our ideas of a meaningful life. The Architecture of Happiness marks a return to what Alain does best -- taking on a subject whose allure is at once tantalizing and a little forbidding and offering to readers a completely beguiling and original exploration of the subject. As he did with Proust, philosophy, and travel, now he does with architecture. / Alain de Botton has published four non-fiction books: Status Anxiety, The Art of Travel, How Proust Can Change Your Life, and The Consolations of Philosophy. In February 2003, de Botton was made a Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, one of France's highest artistic honours. In November of the same year, he was awarded the Prix Europe;en de l'Essai Charles Veillon. In 2004, Status Anxiety was awarded the prize for the Economics Book of the Year by the Financial Times, Germany. Cambridge-educated, de Botton now lives in London." - Publisher. Very Good/Fine.

DE BOTTON, ALAIN

The Architecture of Happiness (Isbn: 9780241142486)

Hamish Hamilton 2006. First edition. New in dw "hardback large 8vo. Many photos. What makes a house beautiful? Why do people disagree about taste? Can buildings make us happy? Here the author of How Proust Can Change Your Life tackles a relationship that is central to our lives. Our buildings and the objects we fill them with, according to Alain de Botton, affect us more profoundly than we might think. Examining architecture, from the humble terraced house to some of the world's most renowned buildings, de Botton considers how our private homes and public edifices influence how we feel, as well as how architects could build in ways that would increase our chances of happiness. ""If this book were a building, it would be a contemporary reading room, I think, with big windows, and clean, built-in bookshelves with a fold-out step ladder just right for fetching slim volumes from the top shelf. The elegant clarity and brisk humour of his style, accompanied by pages of photos, opens your eyes to the rich possibility of thinking about your home, and your city, in a new way.""—The Toronto Star 280 pgs."
