The Bonjour EffectJulie Barlow & Jean-Benoit Nadeau
Jean-Benoît Nadeau and Julie Barlow spent a decade traveling back and forth to Paris as well as living there. Yet one important lesson never seemed to sink in: how to communicate comfortably with the French, even when you speak their language. In The Bonjour Effect Jean-Benoît and Julie chronicle the lessons they learned after they returned to France to live, for a year, with their twin daughters. They offer up all the lessons they learned and explain, in a book as fizzy as a bottle of the finest French champagne, the most important aspect of all: the French don't communicate, they converse . To understand and speak French well, one must understand that French conversation runs on a set of rules that go to the heart of French culture. Why do the French like talking about "the decline of France"? Why does broaching a subject like money end all discussion? Why do the French become so aroused debating the merits and qualities of their own language? Through encounters with school principals, city hall civil servants, gas company employees, old friends and business acquaintances, Julie and Jean-Benoît explain why , culturally and historically, conversation with the French is not about communicating or being nice. It's about being interesting . After reading The Bonjour Effect , even readers with a modicum of French language ability will be able to hold their own the next time they step into a bistro on the Left Bank.

Blue Trout and Black TrufflesJoseph Wechsberg
There were, and still are, great restaurants all over Europe, but the greater part of Blue Trout and Black Truffles is devoted to the eatingplaces and vineyards of France. It is a vicarious experience to read about the culinary wonders of the notable establishments of another era that have become the last epicurean haven in this materialistic, mechanized world of fastfood chains and frozenfood dinners. Mr. Wechsberg reaches back to the twilight days of the Habsburg monarchy, when those splendid monuments to the haute cuisine in central Europe, Meissl and Schadn of Vienna and Gundel's of Budapest, were in their prime.

Taverna by the SeaJennifer Barclay
The Taverna by the Sea is an enchanting, funny, poignant travel memoir about answering the call of adventure by taking on the challenge of running a Greek beach taverna. During a walking holiday on the island of Karpathos, a chance encounter with a Greek-American hotel owner results in a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Jennifer Barclay. The best-selling travel writer and long-term resident of Greece drops everything, returning with dog and tent to the remote bay that will form her home for one hectic, event-filled summer. This book offers a rare account of life in north Karpathos in the South Aegean, famous for its traditional community and dramatic, rugged landscape. While primarily a light, engaging, amusing read full of anecdotes, one-liners, twists and turns - perfect for summer - Barclay's fourth book about life in Greece also conveys the life-affirming importance of trusting one's instincts, taking risks and grasping opportunities. Wake with Jennifer to experience a summer of pink dawns over the olive grove and an empty bay, and swim with her in moonlight, hearing only the waves. Or help yourself to local cuisine - creamy yoghurt and local honey and warm figs, olive oil and rosemary, freshly baked bread, and wine on tap. Alongside a cast of characters from farmers to fishermen, mad guests and a wicked witch, meet Minas the hotel owner, a creative, unconventional Greek-American with the ability to fix anything mechanical and create money out of thin air with food, plus a penchant for drinking, singing and falling asleep. Experience days full of music, days of no running water, and days with a goat tied to a tree - but also nights when the overworked taverna manager awoke convinced there was a large fish in the tent, and customers outside waiting to be served. In The Taverna by the Sea, Barclay reveals what happens behind the scenes of an apparently blissful, peaceful paradise, capturing both the magic and the difficulties of island life. Underpinning an entertaining read for lovers of Greece and its cuisine is an inspiring call to live life to the full - and even escape the rat race.

The Weirder Side Of Paris: A Guide to 101 Bizarre, Bloodstained, or Macabre Sights, From the Merely Eccentric to the Downright GhoulishSusanne Alleyn
Welcome to the weirder (and darker) side of the City of Light. You've probably visited—or plan to visit—the Paris Catacombs. But for history buffs, travelers trying to escape the overcrowded "must-sees," and fans of the bizarre, macabre, or morbid, there's a lot more than the Catacombs to explore in the offbeat, often creepy side of the city that most tourists never see. Forget all the clichés about romance—the most romantic sight you're likely to find in this oddball, grim, or gory Paris will be a tombstone. In these pages you'll discover the city's stranger secrets and grislier history, from the sites where the guillotine did its bloody work, to the graves of its victims; from the Louvre's forgotten medieval basement to a Métro station that celebrates potatoes; to statues of Death, a stroll through the sewers, and an irreverent look at some of the oddest (and ugliest) tombs in the famous cemeteries. With background and practical information for over a hundred bizarre and sometimes gruesome sights, weird artworks, wacky museums, and out-of-the-way historical locations, many free to visit, The Weirder Side Of Paris is an indispensable guide to the city that you never knew existed.

In SicilyNorman Lewis
Few places on earth have escaped the singular eye of Norman Lewis, but always, in the course of his long career, he has come back to Sicily. From his first, wartime visit - to a land untouched since the Middle Ages - through his frequent returns, he has watched the island and its people as they have changed over the years. In 1998 he returned yet again to write this book, the result of a sixty-year-long fascination with all things Sicilian. In Sicily reveals this fascination on every page. Throughout there is the Mafia, and Lewis's friendships with policemen, journalists and men of respect. But more, he writes of landscape and language, of his memories of his first father-in-law (professional gambler, descendant of princes and member of the Unione Siciliana), of Sicily's changing sexual mores, of the effects of African immigration, of Palermo and its ruined palaces - and of strange superstitions, of witches and bandits and murder.

VeneziaAA. VV.
Va nella direzione di un turismo responsabile e a basso impatto la proposta di questa nuova Guida Verde, raccontando una Venezia appartata in cui perdersi nel dedalo di calli e campielli, sottoporteghi, rii e corti, con l’invito a estendere la visita alle isole – anche quelle minori – da sempre integrate nell’organismo urbano lagunare. Del resto il modo migliore per osservare la città è proprio dall’acqua, ovvero dalla prospettiva secondo cui è stata costruita. IN QUESTA GUIDA: Il Canal Grande San Marco San Polo e Santa Croce Dorsoduro Cannaregio Castello San Giorgio Maggiore e la Giudecca Le isole della Laguna La Terraferma Centinaia di immagini e la cartografia Touring con il consueto dettaglio: carte degli itinerari urbani e in Laguna, piante di città, planimetrie dei monumenti principali Oltre 600 indirizzi utili: informazioni pratiche, indirizzi dove dormire, ristoranti e locali, spunti per il tempo libero e lo shopping Tra le pagine di questa Guida Verde: - Gli angoli più romantici, quelli segreti, quelli inaspettati, quelli dipinti, per entrare a colpo sicuro nella città da sogno - Ombre, cicheti e bacari: un aperitivo in ogni sestiere - Un giro in gondola tra gli antichi squeri e uno in vaporetto sul Canal Grande - Il lungo racconto della Biennale, palcoscenico della contemporaneità - Caccia al tesoro d’arte tra calli e campielli: nei luoghi di Tintoretto, Carpaccio, Tiziano - Barca + bicicletta nelle isole della Laguna, in simbiosi con l’ambiente terracqueo - Il Redentore, il Carnevale, la Regata storica: la ripresa degli eventi a due stelle
