It's a charming tale that captures the essence of life in rural France and the joys and trials of embracing a new culture. Would you like more detailed insights or information on specific aspects of the book?.## ## In "A Year in Provence," Peter Mayle takes the reader through the year's seasons, starting with his arrival in Provence in winter and concluding at the end of fall. Each chapter represents a month, and Mayle dives deeper into his experiences with the Provençal weather, local traditions, and festivities.## ## During winter, Mayle describes the cold yet charming beginning of his journey, including the trials of heating his old farmhouse. As spring arrives, he delves into the pleasures of discovering blooming landscapes and the start of local markets brimming with fresh produce.## ## Summer brings an influx of tourists and the hustle and bustle of peak season, which Mayle observes with wit as he navigates through crowded spaces and shares anecdotes about his interactions with visitors and neighbours.## ## In fall, Mayle reflects on the harvest season, particularly the grape harvest, a significant event in wine-producing Provence. He also recounts the preparations for winter and the sense of community that comes with shared experiences and seasonal cycles##. ## Throughout the book, Mayle's storytelling is infused with humour as he recounts learning the language, understanding local customs, and embracing a lifestyle that prioritises leisure, good food, and good company. His observations on rural life are both affectionate and satirical, providing a nuanced portrayal of adapting to a new home.## ## The memoir is not just about Mayle's personal journey but also a tribute to Provence itself?its cuisine, wine, landscape, and people. It's a narrative that encourages taking pleasure in the simple things in life and finding beauty in the every day.## ## INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please Note. FREE SHIPPING IS UK ONLY.

Add to basketCondition: Sehr gut. 374 Seiten. Sehr guter Zustand. Besitzerstempel auf dem Vorsatz: The Munich Readery. In einer rauhen, stürmischen Winternacht nimmt eine Hausgeburt einen katastrophalen Verlauf. Die Telefonleitungen sind tot, die Straßen von einer glatten Eisschicht bedeckt. Ohne jede Möglichkeit, ihre Patientin ins Krankenhaus bringen zu können, arbeitet die Hebamme verzweifelt, um Mutter und Kind zu retten. Ihre unerfahrene Assistentin und der verängstigte Ehemann der Patientin schauen zu. Die Mutter stirbt, das Kind überlebt dank eines Notkaiserschnitts. Aber dann beginnt ein Alptraum: die Assistentin unterstellt der Hebamme, daß die Mutter vielleicht nicht tot war, als sie die Notoperation einleitete: Hat meine Mutter mindestens acht oder neun Zyklen ausgeführt, wie sie sagt, oder nur die vier oder fünf, an die sich Asa erinnert? Das war hier die Frage. Aber irgendwann, nach ein paar Minuten, die meiner Mutter wie ein Wimpernschlag vorkamen, hörte sie mit der Herz-Lungen-Wiederbelebung auf, da kein Puls oder Atmen zu spüren war. Sie schrie Asa und Anne an, ihr das schärfste Messer zu bringen, das im Haus zu finden war. In Midwives schildert Chris Bohjalian die Ereignisse, die zum Prozeß gegen Sibyl Danforth geführt haben, einer anerkannten Hebamme in Reddington -- einer kleinen Stadt im US-Bundesstaat Vermont -- die wegen Totschlags angeklagt wurde. Es wird jedoch schnell offensichtlich, daß Sibyl nicht die Einzige ist, der hier der Prozeß gemacht wird -- die Anklage und der medizinische Berufsstand im Staat sind nur allzu bereit, diese Tragödie als Mittel im Kampf gegen Hebammen im allgemeinen einzusetzen. Diese Hebamme war doch schließlich früher ein Hippie, verkörperte immer noch die Flower-Power-Generation und war 1981 so etwas wie ein Anachronismus. In dem ganzen Unglück versuchen Sibyl, ihr Mann Rand und ihre Tochter Connie, noch ein Teenager, zusammenzuhalten, aber der Druck des Prozesses -- und die wachsende Zuneigung zwischen Sibyl und ihrem Rechtsanwalt -- belastet sowohl ihre Ehe als auch ihre Familie. Bohjalian bringt dem Leser die Verwicklungen von Geburt und Gesetz nahe, und am Ende des Prozesses gegen Sibyl Danforth fällt es schwer, zu entscheiden, was entsetzlicher war -- die tragische Geburt oder ihr rechtliches Nachspiel. Midwives wird aus der Sicht der inzwischen erwachsenen Connie erzählt und fügt durch Zeitsprünge die wichtigen Informationen über die Geschehnisse jener Nacht -- wie die Teile eines Puzzles -- in die komplizierte Handlung ein. Während Connie auf den Prozeß ihrer Mutter zurückblickt, versucht sie immer noch zu verstehen, was passiert ist -- nicht in jener schrecklichen Nacht -- sondern in den Monaten und Jahren danach. --Margaret Prior. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 350 20 cm. Illustrierte Originalbroschur. Paperback. 10. Auflage. 1st Vintage Contemporaries Ed (Oktober 1998).

Add to basketIllustrierte Originalbroschur. Condition: Gut. New Edition. XVII + (15) 783 pages. 20,2 cm. Guter Zustand. Seiten papierbedingt leicht gebräunt. This revised volume of the acclaimed novel follows the complete unabridged text as corrected in 1961. Set entirely on one day, 16 June 1904, Ulysses follows Leopold Bloom and Stephen Daedalus as they go about their daily business in Dublin. From this starting point, James Joyce constructs a novel of extraordinary imaginative richness and depth. Unique in the history of literature, Ulysses is one of the most important and enjoyable works of the twentieth century. This edition contains a Letter from Joyce to the publisher and the historic court ruling to remove the federal ban. It also contains page references to the first American edition of 1934. - . Ulysses: Joyces berühmtestes Werk ist der Roman Ulysses, der auszugsweise in der Zeitschrift The Little Review" 19181920 vorabgedruckt wurde, und 1922 im Verlag der Pariser Buchhandlung Shakespeare and Company" als Buch erschien. Es entstand in den Jahren 1914 bis 1921. Die ersten Kapitel legte Harriet Weaver im April 1918 der Hogarth Press vor, doch das Verleger- und Schriftstellerehepaar Virginia und Leonard Woolf konnte sich zu einer Veröffentlichung nicht entschließen, da sie wegen des zum Teil obszönen Inhalts keinen Drucker fanden, der das Risiko auf sich nehmen wollte. Joyce beeinflusste mit seinem Ulysses die Geschichte des modernen Romans ebenso maßgeblich wie etwa Marcel Proust mit A la recherche du temps perdu (deutsch: Auf der Suche nach der verlorenen Zeit) (19131927). Joyces bedeutendster Beitrag zur modernen Literatur bestand im Einsatz des Stream of Consciousness", deutsch Bewusstseinsstrom bzw. des sog. inneren Monologs. Joyce hatte diese literarische Technik zwar nicht erfunden, jedoch erstmals konsequent angewandt und bedeutend weiterentwickelt. Beispielsweise besteht das letzte Kapitel des Romans ausschließlich aus den Gedanken Marion (Molly") Blooms, der Frau der Hauptfigur Leopold Bloom, geschrieben in acht Sätzen ohne Interpunktionszeichen. Nach dem Protagonisten des Romans wird der 16. Juni (der Roman spielt nur innerhalb dieses einen Tages und in den Morgenstunden des folgenden im Jahr 1904) in literarischen Kreisen auch vermehrt aus touristischen Gründen inzwischen Bloomsday genannt. . . .
