1 - 2 weken
One of the world's most fascinating and glamorous actresses, Jane Seymour, is the star of Live and Let Die, Somewhere in Time, Lassiter, TV's East of Eden, Crossings, The Sun Also Rises, War and Remembrance, and Broadway's Amadeus. Her life on stage and off has epitomized the very essence of the romantic woman. Now she shows us how to bring romance back into our lives. Romance, for Jane Seymour, should not be narrowly construed or limited to love affairs but should be seen as a way of life—a quality of life. The heart of romance, for Seymour, is not extravagance but exuberance. It means taking chances and breaking routines—daring to make your fantasies part of your everyday life. Married, single, at the office or in the home, in Jane Seymour’s Guide to Romantic Living you will learn how you can bring romance not only into your life but also into the lives of those around you.
In chapters like ‘Finding Your Romantic Self,” “Keeping the Romance in Your Relationship,” and “Romance and the Busy Life,” Jane shares with us the secrets of revitalizing your life. Her counsel is surprisingly simple: it takes neither time nor money—just a little imagination and that extra bit of care—to develop a talent for making the ordinary special. Learn how simple little touches can transform a hotel room, your bedroom, and even your bath! Instead of an expensive dinner out, try an impromptu picnic, or whisk your husband or wife off for a surprise getaway weekend. Loaded with suggestions, tips, and lavish illustrations, Jane S$eymour’s Guide to Romantic Living is an indispensable book for everyone who wants to add sparkle and romance to his or her life.
Lavishly illustrated, with 83 illustrations in Jull color, and 28 in black and white.

I want to share with you my beliefs about romance and its importance in every part of life, and I hope that by doing this I 'Il be able to impart the sense that, while it's important to lead a romantic life, it's also remarkably easy. It doesn't require you to buy anything or to inherit a fortune, but it does require that you learn to know yourself and what you want out of life day to day. You’ll find that in sharing your desire for more of those special moments you'll enhance not only your own life but also the lives of the people around you. This book is about approaching your life with the drama and mystery that some of us think exists only in books, TV, and movies. Even though I make those movies, find myself wishing that more of those magic moments could happen in real life. This book is about making it all come true’?

One day standing in the shower, newly pregnant with my second baby and just finished with my latest film, I wondered, Now what? I felt very content and excited about the coming months but also felt I had something I wanted to do or say during this time that would express why, despite the normal dissatisfactions with everyday life, I am basically happy.
I 've never been a writer—indeed, it's the last talent Il could ever claim for myself—but I wanted to share the passion Î feel for life that makes it that much more special. T know and have always known that I am a very privileged person, not because of wealth or fame or power or the usual things that one thinks of as belonging to privilege, but because I have a deep sense a woman who stays home to care for her famiee Iy’s needs, or a single woman who supports herself, ee you can bring romance into your life. And you ’ll find that in sharing your desire for more of those special KS moments you’ll enhance not only your own life but also the lives of the people around you. This is not about the lifelong partner or the marriage of convenience or the one-night stand. It’s about approachiìing your life with the drama and mystery that some of us think exists only in books, TV, and movies. Even though I make those movies, I find myself wishing that more of those magic moments could happen in real life. This book is about making it all come true. I was born to two wonderful, unconventional, loving, and romantic parents. They gave their children all the opportunities they had missed: a life with education, no war, love, stability, and a great sense of security in being our own persons. We weren't rich at all, but never felt poor or lacking in any way. The special 3 things we had and did came from our parents’ sense of adventure and surprise, and this really is where my ideas spring from. Against the odds of their generaese tion, the war, their age, their time in life, they have dared to live the romantic life. They've never been ses, afraid to make romantic gestures, never been too busy 3 to make the small gesture that means so much to those Li around them. They have shared their unique approach to life with many of my friends and theirs, and people Bes always remember them for this. They enrich others’ : lives when they try to enrich their own. Yes, I am a romantic. It’s not the most practical thing es to be, or the most profound thing to say, I agree, but when all is over, the sense of having lived, ....
