Der Lauf der Liebe

A clever and surprising plea for the risk of love. At the beginning, every love is easy. But how does it continue? How can one find happiness as a couple despite all the adversities of everyday life? In "The Course of Love," Alain de Botton ruthlessly yet sensitively examines the love story of Rabih and Kirsten. The choice of Ikea glasses, meeting the in-laws, the question of whether the butter should be kept in the fridge – all of this gives rise to the greatest dramas. Extremely charming and convincing, Alain de Botton drives home the absurd idea of searching for the nonexistent perfection in love.
