A shining exploration of why we marry from writer and academic Devorah Baum
For better or worse, for richer for poorer, till death us do part ¿ we¿ve always done it and we¿re still doing it. Of all our cultural institutions, marriage is the most ancient, but also the most puzzling.
In this compelling and delightful book, Devorah Baum examines the many meanings we have given to marriage, interweaving the personal with insights from a host of writers, artists and thinkers.
From Freud to Ferrante, and One Thousand and One Nights to Fleabag, she looks at marriage in all of its forms ¿ from act of love to leap of faith, and asks: what are we really doing when we say `I dö?
Both celebration and critique, On Marriage is a guide like no other to the landscape of marriage.
'A hugely thought-provoking, witty, warm tour around every significant writer and thinker on love to have emerged since Adam and Eve' Alain de Botton
