    Wow! It's a remainder of this great book "On love"! In Poland we have a great luck to have marvelous translations od french literature by Boy Żeleński for more than a century now, including the whole od Stendhal.. Great privilege ♥️

    As a speaker of English as my second language, I understand why Standtal used English for his most intense emotions.

    Perhaps it shows I lack passion, but kept wondering where his microphone was placed. Whenever he fidgeted, the mic crackled. If you’re blushing you must be French. Italians will guffaw. Otherwise a good lecture, though after ten minutes of crackle I could not continue.

    Maybe Standtal had a better understanding of the French women than he did the Italian women!

    Botton has literally no idea what he's talking about when he makes pronouncements on day-to-day life, particularly when it comes to relationships and women. It's amazing that someone with such little insight and experience has something of an audience. I hear the cowardice and weakness in his voice in every sentence.

      Like most of our contemporary
      English intellectuals he has zero
      experience of " normal ' Life or
      people ....especially women.
      The Brexit vote was the biggest
      kick in the groin that his class
      have experienced . They still can't
      get over it...!
