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.
修茸房子,栽橄榄树种玫瑰花,自己做饭,外出旅行。其实在哪里都可以过这种日子吧? 但那里不是托斯卡纳。 意大利给人的感觉仿佛不那么欧洲。欧洲应该像英国,冷冷的;应该像法国,优雅的;应该像德国,精确的,甚至应该像捷克像奥地利,浪漫的。可意大利,乱糟糟的,懒洋洋...
评分我是一个双鱼座,双鱼座的人无可救药,双鱼座看到蔚蓝的海水就情不自禁的想跳进去淹死;遇到浓雾就会想起小时候看到的怪谈故事:一支军队走进一片神秘浓雾,等阳光再出来的时候,军队就随着大雾一起消失了……双鱼座的人是否都是这样?还是只有我是这样? 《托斯卡纳艳阳下》是...
评分著名的连岳说过:“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...
评分原文:http://yemaiji.com/b/article.asp?id=74 你有时间吗?你知道白鸽每分钟叫多少次吗?你知道虫躲在草丛中的鸣声吗?你知道小猫喜欢在哪个角落睡觉吗?其实,这一切的一切,我们都曾熟悉过,可如今,它们却离的好远好远了。 说实话,见到“托斯卡纳”这四个字的时候,我...
评分先看了同名的电影,再看了这本书。 不太一样的感觉,电影更有故事性,而书——是记录一种生活。美国到意大利,对普通中国百姓,都不是伸手可及的名词,干酪、松露……都是些闻所未闻的吃食,然而,那种生活的感觉,却有似曾相识。把一间废屋变得可以安居,房前屋后收拾...
