This has been on my nightstand, off and on, since sometime in Autumn of 2010, I think. Probably not the best place to start reading Mayle, though (what can I say? I found it on the discount rack.) I've read part of A Year in Provence, which, obviously, flows better than this little alphabet of essays – but the little alphabet has whetted my appetite to read more Mayle. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
A sourcebook on Provence by the writer who has made the region his own. Though organized from A to Z, this is hardly a conventional work of reference. It is rather a selection of those aspects of Provence that Peter Mayle in almost twenty years there has found to be the most interesting, curious, delicious, or downright fun. In more than 170 wide-ranging entries he writes about architecture, expatriates, Aix-en-Provence, the Proven?l character, legends, lavender, linguistic oddities, the museum of the French Foreign Legion, the museum of the corkscrew, the origins of "La Marseillaise," and a bawdy folklore character named Fanny. Of course, he writes about food and drink: vin ros,? truffles, olives, melons, bouillabaisse, the cheese that killed a Roman emperor, even a cure for indigestion. The accompanying artwork includes curiosities Mayle has gathered over the years--matchbooks, drawings, century-old ads, photos, tourist brochures, maps.--From publisher description.

This was an audiobook with excellent narration by John Lee, which I hope has improved my French pronunciation even a little. ( )
