Frances Mayes is a Georgian who now lives in Cortona, Italy, and San Francisco, California. She has written five books of poetry and is chair of the creative writing department at San Francisco State University.
Buying a villa in the spectacular Italian countryside is a wonderful fantasy -- even if 17 rooms and a garden in need of immediate loving care are included in the asking price. Frances Mayes -- gourmet cook, widely published travel writer, and poet -- changed her life by doing just that. Sprinkled liberally with delicious recipes for inspired Italian dishes, amusing anecdotes about the risks of being your own contractor, and a savvy traveler's reminiscences, Under the Tuscan Sun is Mayes's enchanting account of her love affair with Tuscany: of scouring the neighborhood for the perfect panettone and the perfect plumber; of mornings spent cultivating her garden, and afternoons spent enjoying its fruits in leisurely lunches on the terrace; of jaunts through the hill towns in search of renowned wines; and the renewal not only of a house, but also of the spirit. An unusual memoir that combines the appeal of M. F.K. Fisher, Peter Mayle, and Martha Stewart, Under the Tuscan Sun is a feast for the senses.
要追溯对意大利热爱的根源最早能让我想到2002年世界杯,在那之前对它似乎并没有太多深刻印象。听见H和Y讲足球和帅哥,讲豪情肆意的绿茵场,于是我便毫无预知地投入到了江湖侠客式的浪漫主义情怀里。后来因为几部电影彻底沦陷了,其中一部就是由这本随笔改编而来,它讲述了一个...
評分这段日子,除了电影,还看了两本书,佛朗西斯梅耶丝的《托斯卡那艳阳下》和《托斯卡那的甜蜜生活》。书是在当当做活动时买的,不贵,却挺好看。托斯卡纳的这两本书的风格跟彼得梅尔的《山居笔记》也就是《永远的普洛旺斯》很像,都是描述一头城市职业动物从繁华都市来到乡间的...
評分【上月底完成。原址:http://commu.dangdang.com/member/myreviewdetail.php?displayid=4787179783862&review_id=5892073】 扶头是一种酒,扶头酒=易醉酒 于是在读书的午后便醉了,仿佛置身于托斯卡纳的艳阳天色下,嗅着浓郁的花气,啜着易醉的美酒,美梦来袭,慵懒甜蜜 ...
評分不管是在阴雨天的房间,还是嘈杂的地铁,抑或熙攘的咖啡店,读这本书都能感觉到很平静很温暖。 数次让我记起在墨西哥的那个下午,和朋友什么都不做,也不聊天,就依靠着坐在广场上晒了很久的太阳。我能清清楚楚地想起当时朋友的笑容,成群的小学生,街上贩卖的小吃和水果。其...
評分著名的连岳说过:“每次我最爱引用这句话‘你要按你所想的去生活,否则,你迟早会按你生活的去想’,但总有人说,你想就能行吗?中国这种地方太多无奈!请注意,这类人就是那类‘迟早按你生活去想’的例证。尖锐敏感如连岳这样的文字工作者都能没有放弃追求理想梦想、过上属于...
