Raised on the Continent by wealthy international parents, Alain de Botton, arrived in England at the age of eight. At 23, he published his first novel, followed by others that sold quite well. Then an engagingly original work entitled 'How Proust Can Change Your Life' brought him considerable media attention. Scarcely 30 years of age, he has said that his future lies as an essayist and thinker. His latest book is called 'The Consolation of Philosophy.' (KEYSTONE/CAMERA PRESS/Jane Bown.) === , ===
