Peter Mayle hat sich seinen großen Traum erfüllt und ist in die Provence gezogen. Doch das erste Jahr ist gar nicht einfach, und immer wieder kommt es zu Missverständnissen nicht nur, weil man die Sprache dort einfach nicht versteht, sondern auch, weil die Lebensweise der Franzosen so merkwürdig anders als die der Briten ist. Tausende von Lesern in aller Welt haben voller Begeisterung Peter Mayles Bücher gelesen und sind wie er dem Zauber der Provence erlegen. In diesem Band sind nun beide Bücher vereinigt, die in England und Amerika monatelang die Bestsellerlisten anführten und auch in Deutschland große Erfolge waren. - Peter Mayle (* 14. Juni 1939 in Brighton, East Sussex; 18. Januar 2018 in Aix-en-Provence war ein britischer Schriftsteller. Leben: Nach Anfängen als Kellner und Busfahrer war Peter Mayle in der Werbebranche tätig. In den 1970er-Jahren begann er zu schreiben, zuerst Erziehungs- bzw. Aufklärungsbücher. Im Jahr 1985 gab er seine Erwerbstätigkeit auf und zog zwei Jahre später in die Provence, wo er ein altes Bauernhaus renovierte und begann, Bücher über eigene Erlebnisse vor Ort, aber auch das Leben, die Kultur und die Mentalität Südfrankreichs zu schreiben. Einen besonderen Schwerpunkt nimmt die Beschreibung der Küche der Provence ein. Seine Werke wurden in 17 Sprachen übersetzt, viele wurden große Erfolge. Durch seine Bücher Mein Jahr in der Provence und Toujours Provence wurde seine Popularität so groß, dass er im Jahr 1997 nach Long Island in den USA flüchtete". Er hatte in seinen Büchern die Lage seines Hauses in Ménerbes beschrieben, das dadurch zu einem Ausflugsziel für Touristen wurde, sodass er sich vor aufdringlichen Besuchern nicht mehr retten konnte. Nach kurzer Zeit in den USA zog es ihn aber nach Südfrankreich zurück, um wieder dort zu leben; die Adresse seines Wohnsitzes in Vaugines gab er jedoch nicht mehr preis. Am 18. Januar 2018 starb Peter Mayle im Alter von 78 Jahren in einem Krankenhaus in Aix-en-Provence. . . . Aus wikipedia-Peter_Mayle. Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 180 Taschenbuch. Kartoniert.
