Book Synopsis The acclaimed author of Sovietistan travels along the seemingly endless Russian border and reveals the deep and pervasive influence it has had across half the globe. Imperial, communist or autocratic, Russia has been--and remains--a towering and intimidating neighbor. Whether it is North Korea in the Far East through the former Soviet republics in Asia and the Caucasus, or countries on the Caspian Ocean and the Black Sea. What would it be like to traverse the entirety of the Russian periphery to examine its effects on those closest to her? An astute and brilliant combination of lyric travel writing and modern history, The Border is a book about Russia without its author ever entering Russia itself. Fatland gets to the heart of what it has meant to be the neighbor of that mighty, expanding empire throughout history. As we follow Fatland on her journey, we experience the colorful, exciting, tragic and often unbelievable histories of these bordering nations along with their cultures, their people, their landscapes. Sharply observed and wholly absorbing, The Border is a surprising new way to understand a broad part our world. Review Quotes "A hauntingly lyrical meditation to the contingencies of history. Ms. Fatland's greatest gift, is listening...allowing the people she meets to reveal themselves in meticulously rendered dramatic monologues, capturing their tics, eccentricities, and detailed personal histories. Russianness gives way to humanity--but not a simplistic one."-- "The Wall Street Journal"Praise for Erika Fatland's Sovietistan "An introduction to a deeply misunderstood part of the world...the complexity and beauty of this region are best represented when she goes back in time. Fatland has a level of access most outsiders would never have."--Gina Rae La Cerva "The New York Times Book Review""A lively, if rarely cheerful, travelogue that fills a yawning knowledge gap for readers concerned with international affairs."--Kirkus Reviews"Fatland details her eight-month trip through 'five of the newest countries in the world' in this fascinating memoir. Her remarkable look at the region serves as a solid introduction to an area that remains little traveled by those from the West." --Publishers Weekly"Fatland's anecdotes are rich and revelatory... Sovietistan blends complex history with Fatland's own clear-eyed reporting, the devastation of the Soviet era always in the background (and sometimes the foreground). With the Russian Bear once again on the move, she plumbs the high cost of dictatorships and the human yearning for self-determination. Sovietistan is a perspicacious, vital book about little-known places and real lives; it deserves a wide readership." --The Minneapolis Star Tribune"In this absorbing travelogue, Erika Fatland picks her way through five former Soviet satellite states, witnessing the social, economic, and environmental damage they've sustained." -- "Christian Science Monitor""Vivid. In addition to taking the reader on a fascinating journey, Sovietistan highlights what an ethnic mosaic the region is. What is so refreshing about Fatland is her predilection for deliberate moments of bathos and deconstruction. An opportunity for sustained reflection on the region."--PopMatters About the Author Erika Fatland studied Social Anthropology at the University of Oslo and is the author of two previous books in Norwegian, as well as Sovietistan, also published by Pegasus Books. She speaks eight languages and lives in Oslo with her husband.

Visiting more of North America's incredible national parks? Try Moon USA National Parks. About the Author Ann Marie Brown made her first solo trip to Yosemite at age 22. Like many first-time visitors, she was immediately inspired by the Valley's sheer granite walls and shimmering waterfalls. Parking her car at the first trailhead she saw, she set off on the Four-Mile Trail. Carrying nothing but a water bottle, she intended to hike only a short distance but was so wowed by the scenery that she kept on walking. Two hours later she found herself at Glacier Point, considered by many to be the grandest viewpoint in the West. Scanning the scene, she noticed tourists dressed in everything from high heels to a nun's habit, and realized that she could have driven to Glacier Point instead of walking. Ann Marie vowed she'd never again go hiking without a map. More than two decades later, Ann Marie has gained substantially more outdoor savvy and is a dedicated California outdoorswoman. She hikes, camps, and bikes more than 150 days each year. She is the author of 13 Moon guides, including several outdoors titles, like Moon101 Great Hikes San Francisco Bay Area, and is the co-author of Moon California Hiking with Tom Stienstra. Her work has also appeared in Sunset, VIA, and California magazines.

Maple Leaf Triumph Pioneers."--Driving.ca"There's a brand new, terrific book out that will tell you everything you've ever wanted to know about one of the world's most popular motorcycle brands: the British Triumph."--Easy Rider Magazine About the Author Detroit-based auto writer Lindsay Brooke has been covering automotive and motorcycle technology and history for more than thirty years.

A broken engagement and a broken heart had left him longing for a change of scenery, but the plan he'd cooked up in response had gone a bit overboard in that department: Over the course of a single year, Knighton would visit every national park in the country, from Acadia to Zion. In Leave Only Footprints, Knighton shares informative and entertaining dispatches from what turned out to be the road trip of a lifetime. Whether he's waking up early for a naked scrub in a historic bathhouse in Arkansas or staying up late to stargaze along our loneliest highway in Nevada, Knighton weaves together the type of stories you're not likely to find in any guidebook. Through his unique lens, America the Beautiful becomes America the Captivating, the Hilarious, and the Inspiring. Along the way, he identifies the threads that tie these wildly different places together--and that tie us to nature--and reveals how his trip ended up changing his views on everything from God and love to politics and technology. Filled with fascinating tidbits about our parks' past and reflections on their fragile future, this book is both a celebration of and a passionate case for the natural wonders that all Americans share. Review Quotes "Conor Knighton is not only blessed with Charles Kuralt's peripatetic curiosity and John Muir's reverence for nature, he shares their all-too-rare gift--his writing makes you want to hit the road and see for yourself what truly makes America great."--Mark Adams, New York Times bestselling author of Turn Right at Machu Picchu "A touching, funny tour of the weird and wonderful in the American wild. If you love our national parks, you'll love visiting them all with the thoughtful, always entertaining Conor Knighton as your witty, energetic guide. His enthusiasm is contagious and shines on every page."--Steve Hely, author of The Wonder Trail "I am crazy about this book. It's a delightful sampler plate of our national parks, written with charisma and erudition and leavened by a healthy dollop of humor. When Conor Knighton tells you to take a hike, you'd do well to pay attention."--Nick Offerman, author of Paddle Your Own Canoe "You don't have to be a national parks geek like me to love this book. However, in Conor Knighton's capable hands, you will be a national parks geek as soon as you dip into this great narrative."--Rinker Buck, author of The Oregon Trail: A New American Journey "In Leave Only Footprints, Conor Knighton does what would require a lifetime for the rest of us. Over the course of a year, he goes on a mission of discovery, sharing something new and fresh about each of our national parks and encouraging us to also visit--and preserve--the places that reflect Americans at our best."--Jonathan Jarvis, eighteenth director of the National Park Service "Knighton is a companionable guide, light on his feet, with a steady store of . . . excellent descriptive passages, good background material, and a few sweeping insights into why national parks are so essential. . . . A fine tour d'horizon of our national grandeur."--Kirkus Reviews About The Author Conor Knighton is an Emmy-winning correspondent for CBS Sunday Morning, America's #1 Sunday morning news program. Depending on your cable package, you may have also seen him hosting shows on Current TV, AMC, and The Biography Channel or providing commentary for the likes of MTV, E!, and CNN. He has been to all of America's national parks and what feels like 40 percent of its Hampton Inns.

In the early years of the 20th century, Indian Motorcycle dominated the world's racetracks and showrooms, earning the brand a worldwide reputation for quality, performance, reliability, and technical innovation with such classic machines as the Chief, Scout and Four. But the once-mighty company fell on hard times and in 1953 was forced to file bankruptcy. The Indian Motorcycle brand never quite died, however, thanks in large part to fanatically devoted enthusiasts, who tried to resurrect it for over half a century. Finally, Polaris, maker of the highly regarded Victory brand of motorcycles, purchased the brand and released the Chief and Scout, models that once again restored Indian Motorcycle to its rightful place in the motorcycle pantheon. Indian Motorcycle is the most complete and up-to-date history of this classic American motorcycle. About the Author Darwin Holmstrom has written, co-written, or contributed to more than thirty books on subjects ranging from motorcycles and muscle cars to Gibson Les Paul guitars, including Indian Motorcycles, GTO: Fifty Years, Let's Ride: Sonny Barger's Guide to Motorcyclying, Top Muscle: The Rarest Cars from America's Fastest Decade, BMW Motorcycles, The Life Harley-Davidson, and The Complete Idiot's Guide to Motorcycles.

Yet Chrysler crushed and burned most of the cars two years later; the jet car's brief glory was over. Where did it all go wrong? Book Synopsis Fascinating. --Vanity Fair A delightful history. --Wall Street Journal In 1964, Chrysler gave the world a glimpse of the future. The automaker built a fleet of turbine cars--automobiles with jet engines--and lent them out to members of the public. The fleet logged over a million miles; the exercise was a raging success. These turbine engines would run on any flammable liquid--diesel, heating oil, kerosene, tequila, even Chanel No. 5. If the cars had been mass produced, today we might have cars that do not require petroleum-derived fuels. The engine was also much simpler than the piston engine--it contained far fewer moving parts and required much less maintenance. The cars had no radiators or fan belts and never needed oil changes.Yet Chrysler crushed and burned most of the cars two years later; the jet car's brief glory was over. Where did it all go wrong? Steve Lehto has interviewed all the surviving members of the turbine car program, from the metallurgist who created the exotic metals for the interior of the engine to the test driver who drove it at Chrysler's proving grounds for days on end. Lehto takes these firsthand accounts and weaves them into a fascinating story about the coolest car Detroit has ever produced. Review Quotes A delightful history. --Wall Street JournalA detailed, entertaining meander through the history of 'Detroit's Coolest Car.' --New York TimesA fascinating example of engineering and product development. . . . Motorheads will love it. --Library JournalSteve Lehto's lively history of Chrysler's turbine car program is a must read for anyone interested in the history of the automobile in the jet age. --David N. Lucsko, author, The Business of Speed: The Hot Rod Industry in America, 1915-1990 About the Author Steve Lehto is an author and an adjunct professor of law and Michigan history at the University of Detroit Mercy. He is the author of Death's Door: The Truth Behind Michigan's Largest Mass Murder, a 2007 Michigan Notable Book, and Michigan's Columbus: The Life of Douglass Houghton. Jay Leno is a stand-up comedian, a television host, and a writer. He contributes a column to Popular Mechanics, which showcases his collection of more than 200 vehicles and advice about automotive topics.

Number of Pages: 266Genre: TravelSub-Genre: Special InterestFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Loba PublishingAge Range: AdultBook theme: Hikes & WalksAuthor: William MonkLanguage: English Book Synopsis In Whistler's Way, Bill Monk's second and much-anticipated book, the intrepid 60 year-old tackles the wildly gorgeous Pacific Crest Trail, 2,653 miles from the Mexican border to British Columbia, from sea level to a nosebleed-inducing 13,153 feet, a truly life-changing trek. Bill brings readers along on his epic journey, describing every detail of five long months filled with breathtaking views, heart-stopping danger, and unrelenting adventure, testing his physical and mental stamina to the limit. Readers will be delighted that he is joined by his friend Scooby for the first couple of months. People who have hiked or plan on hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, lovers of nature, and those who want know what it's like to accomplish a seemingly insurmountable goal will relish this uplifting story, which paints a magnificent portrait of the outdoors and what it's like to fully immerse oneself in nature's glorious, awe-inspiring, and occasionally very challenging beauty. Review Quotes "William "Whistler" Monk invites you to ride on his shoulders, reading his thoughts, simply by turning the pages of Whistler's Way ... A Thru-Hiker's Adventure on the Pacific Crest Trail. This is Monk's second long trail book. The first chronicled his 2017 eastern adventure, Whistler's Walk: the Appalachian Trail in 142 Days. In Whistler's Way, Monk ran headlong into a big snow year on the PCT. So many hikers "flipped, skipping the Sierra Nevada, re-starting further north, with the hope to return later to John Muir's "Range of Light." Monk, too, made that hard decision, testing his philosophy: "I've never had a bad day in my life." That philosophy was sorely tested again on the slopes of Mt. Jefferson when he careened down an icy bank, breaking ribs. Still, 37 days later, Monk was back on trail. That this book exists at all is the result of Monk's promise made to himself; "[A]s difficult as it was, I committed to myself that I would never miss a day of writing in my journal." Monk's trail companion of over 2,000 miles reported in the Foreword that Monk was "excited and giddy" whenever he stopped to jot journal notes. Whistler's Way certainly covers the trail sights and stunning landscapes, but Monk makes sure to focus on what was most important to him--the people, repeatedly the people, how good-spirited and kind Monk found them as he thru-hiked the Pacific Crest Trail. Just as for Monk, readers of Whistler's Way may find their faith in people renewed and restored". - Best selling author, trail legend and triple crowner Barney "Scout" Mann About the Author Born in New York and raised in Miami, Bill Monk worked for 31 years as a district manager for a large supermarket chain in the United States. Since his retirement, he has lived in Nova Scotia, Canada, with his wife of thirty-eight years, Ann Marie. Together they own and operate A Seafaring Maiden Bed and Breakfast, Ann Marie's 140-year-old ancestral home in Granville Ferry, Nova Scotia. An outdoor enthusiast, Bill enjoys hiking, kayaking, snowshoeing, and biking, and his hobbies include furniture restoration, woodworking, and the loving care and maintenance of their historic heritage home.

About the Author Originally from Melbourne, after graduating from university, Katrina Davis moved to Japan. Working as an adventure tour guide in Japan helped Kat develop her skills to seek out the local hotspots and also develop a love for hiking. 'A wise man climbs Mt Fuji, a fool climbs it twice' is a popular Japanese saying, so Kat climbed it 7 times. From Japan to Canada to London where Kat is now based, she quit her office job in 2013 to walk the Camino de Santiago and has never looked back. She has since completed seven Caminos and walked over 10,000km in Spain, Portugal, England, Italy, Japan and America, including the 4240km Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada.

Number of Pages: 368Genre: TravelSub-Genre: Special InterestFormat: HardcoverPublisher: Knopf Publishing GroupAge Range: AdultBook theme: AdventureAuthor: Daniel BarbarisiLanguage: English About the Book "A full-throttle, first-person account of the treasure hunt set in motion by Forest Fenn--an eccentric art dealer and, some would say, robber baron--in 2010 that lasted a full decade and became the stuff of contemporary legend. When Forest Fenn was told he was going to die, he hid a chest full of jewels and gold in the wilderness and published a poem that contained a series of clues about the treasure's secret location. But he didn't die, and he wouldn't reveal the location. The wild hunt went on for another ten years. Daniel Barbarisi first learned of Fenn's hunt in 2017 when a friend began decoding the poem and convinced Barbarisi to catalogue his search. What began as a great story documenting the history of Fenn's treasure hunt--the rumors, characters, and pitfalls--quickly turned into a personal quest, as Barbarisi found himself on a sometimes reckless and possibly dead-end path, despite having a family at home. Over the course of the next three years, several searchers would die, endless controversies would erupt, and one anonymous unknown would find the ultimate prize. Rich with mystery, danger, and break-neck action, Barbarisi's account of the imagination and drive of desire, of obsession, and of a particularly unbridled adventure is pure gold on the page"-- Book Synopsis "Daniel Barbarisi plunges into an adventure from another era when he goes in search of buried treasure, guided only by a cryptic poem, a mischievous art collector, and the footsteps another pursuer who died on the quest... Every page draws you deeper into this no-man's-land where fortune--or tragedy--awaits." --Christopher McDougall, author of Born to RunWhen Forrest Fenn was given a fatal cancer diagnosis, he came up with a bold plan: He would hide a chest full of jewels and gold in the wilderness, and publish a poem that would serve as a map leading to the treasure's secret location. But he didn't die, and after hiding the treasure in 2010, Fenn instead presided over a decade-long gold rush that saw many thousands of treasure hunters scrambling across the Rocky Mountains in pursuit of his fortune. Daniel Barbarisi first learned of Fenn's hunt in 2017, when a friend became consumed with decoding the poem and convinced Barbarisi, a reporter, to document his search. What began as an attempt to capture the inner workings of Fenn's hunt quickly turned into a personal quest that led Barbarisi down a reckless and potentially dangerous path, one that found him embroiled in searcher conspiracies and matching wits with Fenn himself. Over the course of four chaotic years, several searchers would die, endless controversies would erupt, and one hunter would ultimately find the chest. But the mystery didn't end there. Full of intrigue, danger, and break-neck action, Chasing the Thrill is a riveting tale of desire, obsession, and unbridled adventure. Review Quotes "Rousing . . . Barbarisi writes with gusto and portrays the eccentrics he encounters with a candor . . . He can also make a landscape come alive. I've read many descriptions of Yellowstone geysers, but none more striking than his evocation of how runoff from the Artemisia Geyser affects the immediate surroundings . . . Barbarisi tells the story so well that you should resist any form of peeking ahead and leave the matter in his capable hands." --Dennis Drabelle, The Washington Post "Chasing the Thrill leads the reader on an engaging armchair treasure hunt, a welcome escape in these waning days of covid. Daniel Barbarisi's bold gamble -- inserting himself at the story's center -- pays off. The writer emerges as a sympathetic protagonist, and his participation buys him entrée into a secretive and mistrustful club. By the final chapters of Chasing the Thrill, we share his wonder in watching the Fenn saga draw to an exhilarating close." --Daniel de Visé, Washington Independent Review of Books "Engaging . . . [Barbarisi] smartly shows how easy it is to get caught up in gold fever. The more he follows the hunt, the more he's consumed by it. As a result, the reader also wants resolution on what searchers call the 'solve.'" --Jeff Schulze, Fredericksburg Free Lance Star "Chasing the Thrill lives where all the best stories reside, on that thin edge between amazing and impossible. Daniel Barbarisi plunges into an adventure from another era when he goes in search of buried treasure, guided only by a cryptic poem, a mischievous art collector, and the footsteps another pursuer who died on the quest. Thanks to Barbarisi's skill, every page draws you deeper into this no-man's-land where fortune--or tragedy--awaits." --Christopher McDougall, author of Born to Run "Chasing the Thrill swept me up from the start and pulled me into a treasure hunt of surprising strangeness and danger--all true!--written with an intoxicating mix of clear-eyed journalism and down-the-rabbit-hole obsession, a riptide of a book right to the unexpected event at the end. What more is there to want?" --Michael Finkel, author of The Stranger in the Woods "Chasing the Thrill is a fantastic tale made of all the best ingredients: adventure, obsession, compulsion, extreme characters, high stakes, big wilderness, and at its center: the race to find an elusive hidden treasure. Dan Barbarisi tells this story from the inside, as a participant swept up in a zany mystery. I devoured this book in one sitting.--Susan Casey, author of Voices in the Ocean "This tale of the most consuming treasure hunt in modern American history, and of the man who created it, is utterly captivating and thoroughly entertaining. Daniel Barbarisi gives the reader a satisfying sense of how deeply being part of a treasure hunt--beginning with believing that there is a treasure to hunt--summons the human spirit back to a faith most adults lost in childhood. At the same time, he reminds us just how close that faith is to madness." --Randall Sullivan, author of The Curse of Oak Island "Dan Barbarisi has done a startling bit of metaphysical gymnastics here. This is a story that pretends to be about one group of people looking for one small hidden box of treasure when in actuality it's about every human being who has ever yearned, obsessed, believed, wanted or desired. It is at its core a profile of hope itself, which makes it, oddly enough, a book about the meaning of life." --Wright Thompson, author of Pappyland: A Story of Family, Fine Bourbon, and the Things That Last "Daniel Barbarisi's Chasing the Thrill is a fast-paced testament to the extraordinary lengths some go for glory and adventure alike. In Barbarisi's hands, you feel you are really hunting for treasure--hiking treacherous landscapes, decoding lines, moving deeper into the unknown--and come to understand how modern myths are born and take on a life of their own. This is a one-of-a-kind, brilliantly reported story about risking one's life and livelihood to chase a dream, and the ways destiny and desire are two sides of the same golden coin." --Kirk Wallace Johnson, author of The Feather Thief Captivating . . . Shot through with dramatic plot twists, colorful personalities, and insights into the nature of obsession, this rollicking account will appeal to fans of The Orchid Thief and Born to Run." --Publishers Weekly, starred "Mesmerizing . . . Barbarisi's narrative splendidly captures the timeless allure of buried treasure. Armchair adventurers will be riveted right up to the suspenseful conclusion." --Booklist "An engaging adventure story . . . A well-reported insider's study on the engrossing and alarming fervor a search can inspire."--Kirkus About the Author DANIEL BARBARISI is the author of Dueling with Kings. He is currently a Senior Editor at The Athletic, after years as a reporter at The Wall Street Journal and The Providence Journal. He resides with his wife and two sons outside Boston, Massachusetts.

This is the perfect guide to visit the 15 most important Maya sites in Mexico and Guatemala. The book describes these sites in detail and contains background information about culture, history, language and writing system and how the Maya calendar works. (2nd edition, 155 illustrations, 91 in color) Book Synopsis The Maya Sites - Hidden Treasures of the Rain Forest A Traveler's Guide to the Maya Sites on the Yucatï¿½n Peninsula, in Mï¿½xico and Guatemala 2nd Edition, 155 illustrations, 91 in color This book is a compact guide that contains the 15 main archaeological sites of the ancient Maya civilization on the Yucatï¿½n peninsula and also explains the optimal route for visiting these sites. A perfect guide for those travelers who are primarily interested in the most important Maya sites. The Maya sites to be visited in this way and described in the book: Tulum Chichen Itzï¿½ Cobï¿½ Ek Balam Izamal Uxmal San Gervasio Edznï¿½ Palenque Toninï¿½ Bonampak Yaxchilï¿½n Tikal Yaxhï¿½ El Mirador In addition, the La Venta Museum Parc in Villahermosa was included in the book, where the traveler will find several monolithic structures of the Olmec culture. The Olmec culture is famous especially for the giant stone heads which they left behind when their civilization disappeared. The perfect route through the land of the Maya The route was divided into three parts, which can be visited either sequentially or divided further into individual stages. The three sections are: Northern Yucatï¿½n Peninsula Chiapas and Campeche Petï¿½n in Guatemala The modern cities, which are approached on these routes are Tulum / Playa del Carmen Valladolid Merida Campeche Palenque Villahermosa Flores From these starting points or "base camps" one can explore the world of the Maya easily. From a leisurely day trip to a 5-day walk through the Guatemalan jungle, all levels of difficulty are available. Lists of hotels or restaurants are not part of this book to avoid the inclusion of short-lived information. The authors opinion is that the internet is a much better information source for hotels in a certain city than any printed travel guide. Instead, chapters about the history, culture, and scribe of the ancient Maya have been included to the book. Special attention was payed for a description of the Maya calender and an in deep explanantion how it works. Finally the traveler will be able to decipher simple date inscriptions found at the Maya sites. 91 color photos, 47 b & w illustrations and tables plus 17 sketch maps illustrate what the traveler will find on site.

Book Synopsis A "rich, unblinking" (USA TODAY) memoir that moves from grief to reckoning to reflection to solace as a marine biologist shares the solo worldwide journey she took after her fiancé suffered a fatal box jellyfish attack in Thailand. In the summer of 2002, Shannon Leone Fowler was a blissful twenty-eight-year-old marine biologist, spending the summer backpacking through Asia with the love of her life--her fiancé, Sean. He was holding her in the ocean's shallow waters off the coast of Ko Pha Ngan, Thailand, when a box jellyfish--the most venomous animal in the world--wrapped around his legs, stinging and killing him in a matter of minutes, irreparably changing Shannon's life forever. Untethered and unsure how to face returning to her life's work--the ocean--Shannon sought out solace in a passion she shared with Sean: travel. Traveling with Ghosts takes Shannon on journeys both physical and emotional, weaving through her shared travels with Sean and those she took in the wake of his sudden passing. She ventured to mostly landlocked countries, and places with tumultuous pasts and extreme sociopolitical environments, to help make sense of her tragedy. From Oswiecim, Poland (the site of Auschwitz) to war-torn Israel, to shelled-out Bosnia, to poverty-stricken Romania, and ultimately, to Barcelona where she and Sean met years ago, Shannon began to find a path toward healing. Hailed as a "brave and necessary record of love" (Ann Patchett, New York Times bestselling author of Bel Canto and Commonwealth) and "as intricate and deep as memory itself (Jane Hamilton, author of A Map of the World), Shannon Leone Fowler has woven a beautifully rendered, profoundly moving memorial to those we have lost on our journeys and the unexpected ways their presence echoes in all places--and voyages--big and small.

Book Synopsis #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND A TIMELESS CLASSIC FROM THE AUTHOR OF UNDER MAGNOLIA Frances Mayes--widely published poet, gourmet cook, and travel writer--opens the door to a wondrous new world when she buys and restores an abandoned villa in the spectacular Tuscan countryside. In evocative language, she brings the reader along as she discovers the beauty and simplicity of life in Italy. Mayes also creates dozens of delicious seasonal recipes from her traditional kitchen and simple garden, all of which she includes in the book. Doing for Tuscany what M.F.K. Fisher and Peter Mayle did for Provence, Mayes writes about the tastes and pleasures of a foreign country with gusto and passion. Now with an excerpt from Frances Mayes's latest southern memoir, Under Magnolia Review Quotes #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK"An intense celebration of what [Mayes] calls 'the voluptuousness of Italian life'...appealing and very vivid...[The] book seems like the kind of thing you'd tuck into a picnic basket on an August day...or better yet, keep handy on the bedside table in the depths of January."--New York Times Book Review "This beautifully written memoir about taking chances, living in Italy, loving a house, and, always, the pleasures of food, would make a perfect gift for a loved one. But it's so delicious, read it first yourself."--USA Today "Mayes [has] perfect vision...I do not doubt that centuries from now, whoever lives in Bramasole will one day uncover bits of pottery used at Mayes's table. She has, by the sweat of her brow and the strength of her vision, become a layer in the history of this place."--Los Angeles Times "Irresistible...a sensuous book for a sensuous countryside."--Minneapolis Star Tribune"[A] parade of art, food, elemental landscape and abiding camaraderie...stir[s] the reader's gastric juices with luscious tales...Food is the pivot around which her days swing, and Mayes serves it forth with brio and dash-and recipes."--Kirkus Reviews "Mayes's affectionate and warm memoir vividly celebrates the lush abundance and charm of daily life in the Italian countryside."--Publisher's Weekly"The woman who singlehandedly started the travel-memoir craze returns with more on her life in Tuscany...With a four-city tour; can't miss."--Library Journal"We're right there with Mayes, fighting every urge to jump straight into these sun-soaked and citrus-scented pages...Mayes is generous with her thoughts, and her evocative writing simply oozes charm and warmth. In these times, this quick read is a thoroughly enjoyable way to visit Italy without once considering the heartbreaking dollar-to-euro conversion rate."--Booklist About the Author Frances Mayes is the author of the now-classic Under the Tuscan Sun, which was a New York Times bestseller for more than two and a half years and became a Touchstone movie starring Diane Lane. Other international bestsellers include: Bella Tuscany, Everyday in Tuscany, A Year in the World, and three illustrated books: In Tuscany, Bringing Tuscany Home, and The Tuscan Sun Cookbook.

Number of Pages: 260Genre: TravelSub-Genre: EuropeFormat: PaperbackPublisher: Picador USAAge Range: AdultBook theme: FranceAuthor: Jeremy MercerLanguage: English About the Book In a leafy square on Paris's Left Bank, a young writer finds a home and an unlikely mentor among the shelves of a legendary bookshop. Book Synopsis Wandering through Paris's Left Bank one day, poor and unemployed, Canadian reporter Jeremy Mercer ducked into a little bookstore called Shakespeare & Co. Mercer bought a book, and the staff invited him up for tea. Within weeks, he was living above the store, working for the proprietor, George Whitman, patron saint of the city's down-and-out writers, and immersing himself in the love affairs and low-down watering holes of the shop's makeshift staff. Time Was Soft There is the story of a journey down a literary rabbit hole in the shadow of Notre Dame, to a place where a hidden bohemia still thrives. Review Quotes "Jeremy Mercer's tale of George Whitman and his beloved bookstore is a book of revelations, for it tells the hard-to-discover true story of George's life and of the twenty-thousand-and-one nights of this enchanted place that continues to be, for its habitées as well as for its creator, a way of life." --Lawrence Ferlinghetti, cofounder and owner, City Lights Bookstore "The memoir is much more than an entertaining romp through Parisian literary bohemia at the turn of the millennium. Time Was Soft There will likely be the last firsthand account of an aging legend." --Newsweek "Mercer has fashioned a colorful de facto biography of Whitman . . . a tightly written, insightful memoir of Left Bank literary radicalism. A great read, both funny and quietly moving." --San Francisco Chronicle "The milieu he evokes, while a long way from that of the Lost Generation, has its own charm." --The Wall Street Journal "The memoir ably captures a romanticized version of the bum's life." --The New Yorker "Mercer is a fine writer with a keen and jaundiced eye." --Chicago Tribune About the Author Jeremy Mercer was formerly a journalist for the Ottawa Citizen. He is the author of two crime books and founder of Kilometer Zero, a cult literary magazine currently being published out of Shakespeare & Co.
