Nổi Danh Vang Dội - Julius Caesar Và Những Người Bạn Xấu Xa Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Tony Brown

Ah, French comedy. Whether literary or cinematic, it's often so banal and lazy that you'll pine for a brash American remake. Anna Sam doesn't disappoint in this book of advice to French grocery store shoppers, delivering such exhilarating second-person narration as "You drive into the grocery store parking lot and, after a lot of hunting, you find a spot. Don't forget your shopping list!" The style is like that of her first book, "Tribulations d'une caissière", a mega-bestseller in France ("Checkout: A Life in the Tills" in its English edition). Intimately familiar with the bewilderment, fear and trembling of a typical visit to a Paris grocery store, I smiled at Anna Sam's typical oddities in Monoprix: the cashier who makes you return all your items because you don't have exact change and she refuses to make 2€ change, the economy-sized glass jar of apricot preserves shattered in the center of an aisle for a whole day, and the produce guy who refuses to sell you plums because "it isn't done." Ah, la douce France! However, any reader is better off reading David Lebovitz's The Sweet Life in Paris: A Recipe for Living in the World's Most Delicious City. He's a writer with wit and style to spare, and more importantly, his short takes on Paris everyday life spins insight from petty frustration. Even a non-francophile would find illumination and delight therein.
