圖書描述

Amazon.com

In this memoir of her buying, renovating, and living in an abandoned villa in Tuscany, Frances Mayes reveals the sensual pleasure she found living in rural Italy, and the generous spirit she brought with her. She revels in the sunlight and the color, the long view of her valley, the warm homey architecture, the languor of the slow paced days, the vigor of working her garden, and the intimacy of her dealings with the locals. Cooking, gardening, tiling and painting are never chores, but skills to be learned, arts to be practiced, and above all to be enjoyed. At the same time Mayes brings a literary and intellectual mind to bear on the experience, adding depth to this account of her enticing rural idyll. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From Publishers Weekly

Mayes's favorite guide to Northern Italy allots seven pages to the town of Cortona, where she owns a house. But here she finds considerably more to say about it than that, all of it so enchanting that an armchair traveler will find it hard to resist jumping out of the chair and following in her footsteps. The recently divorced author is euphoric about the old house in the Tuscan hills that she and her new lover renovated and now live in during summer vacations and on holidays. A poet, food-and-travel writer, Italophile and chair of the creative writing department at San Francisco State University, Mayes is a fine wordsmith and an exemplary companion whose delight in a brick floor she has just waxed is as contagious as her pleasure in the landscape, architecture and life of the village. Not the least of the charms of her book are the recipes for delicious meals she has made. Above all, her observations about being at home in two very different cultures are sharp and wise.

From Library Journal

In a carefully written story, poet Mayes (Ex Voto, Lost Roads, 1995), who chairs the creative writing department at San Francisco State University, recounts the purchase and renovation of an abandoned Tuscan villa. She begins with the 1990 search with her companion, Ed, for a summer home to take the place of the rented farmhouses of past years. They finally decide on Bramasole ("Yearning for the Sun"), a villa with 17 rooms and a garden that has been standing empty for 30 years. There is the ordeal of getting money transferred via the tangled Italian banking system, as well as bringing together the owner, builders, and government officials to get the necessary work done. The daunting process requires several years. Meanwhile, Mayes finds Italian country life a healthy antidote to hectic San Francisco, enjoying, for example, the fruits of her own garden, friends in the village, and the first olive harvest. This is an unusual memoir of one woman's challenge to herself and its successful transformation into a satisfying opportunity to improve the quality of her life.?William R. Smith, Johns Hopkins Univ. Lib., Baltimore

an intense celebration of ... "the voluptuousness of Italian life." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

From AudioFile

Let the Tuscan sun warm you. Listeners can savor the delights of the countryside, fresh food, flowers and Italian village life through Frances Mayes's memoir of restoring a stone villa in Tuscany and her exploration of the surrounding countryside. For listeners who prefer to hear authors reading their own works, poet, teacher and food critic Mayes reads this abridgment version. While clear and engaging, her voice reflects her Georgia upbringing and caused this reviewer some consternation as she described an endearing Italian scene with a Southern accent. Mayes's intent is to guide readers as one would a guest, showing them all the delights of the place she finds so magical. One additional plus, a small booklet includes actual recipes from some of the memorable meals. Despite her accent, listeners will find themselves immersed in her vivid perceptions. R.F.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

From Booklist

It takes a determined effort to read this account of restoring and enjoying a Tuscan farmhouse without experiencing a violent attack of adolescent jealousy. Why her and not me, you'll be screaming as writer and professor Mayes describes languorous lunches on the patio, local wine flowing freely and olive pits casually pitched toward the nearby stone wall. Yes, there were problems--wells running dry, workers vanishing--but the image Mayes creates of her house, the Italian countryside, and her summers there with fellow professor Ed and sundry visitors is nothing short of idyllic: a real-life version of the film Stealing Beauty, but without the funny-looking sculpture scarring the landscape. Mayes' delightful recipes, evocative descriptions of the nearby village of Cortona, and thoughtful musings on the Italian spirit only add to the pleasure. This is armchair travel at its most enticing. Can we really blame ourselves for wanting to strap Mayes down in some ratty armchair while we go live in her farmhouse? Bill Ott --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

看得齣來作者對自己的生活著瞭迷,不過書寫得拖拉又瑣碎,真是讀不下去。

電影跟書還是有不少差彆,書更像是散記;托斯卡納的生活好美好,但是全文閱讀起來略瑣碎。。

【上月底完成。原址:http://commu.dangdang.com/member/myreviewdetail.php?displayid=4787179783862&review_id=5892073】 扶头是一种酒,扶头酒=易醉酒 于是在读书的午后便醉了,仿佛置身于托斯卡纳的艳阳天色下,嗅着浓郁的花气,啜着易醉的美酒,美梦来袭,慵懒甜蜜 ...

我是一个双鱼座,双鱼座的人无可救药,双鱼座看到蔚蓝的海水就情不自禁的想跳进去淹死;遇到浓雾就会想起小时候看到的怪谈故事:一支军队走进一片神秘浓雾,等阳光再出来的时候,军队就随着大雾一起消失了……双鱼座的人是否都是这样?还是只有我是这样? 《托斯卡纳艳阳下》是...

很久以前就在图书馆借过这两本书,《艳阳下》里面浓烈的阳光和《甜美生活》的菜谱把向往意大利南部的我深深吸引住了。以至于从来记性不好的我,在看过书很久以后,还记得作者写到她有一天从床上醒来,听见了“太阳的呼声”。

著名的连岳说过:“每次我最爱引用这句话‘你要按你所想的去生活,否则,你迟早会按你生活的去想’,但总有人说,你想就能行吗?中国这种地方太多无奈!请注意,这类人就是那类‘迟早按你生活去想’的例证。尖锐敏感如连岳这样的文字工作者都能没有放弃追求理想梦想、过上属于...

修茸房子,栽橄榄树种玫瑰花,自己做饭,外出旅行。其实在哪里都可以过这种日子吧? 但那里不是托斯卡纳。 意大利给人的感觉仿佛不那么欧洲。欧洲应该像英国,冷冷的;应该像法国,优雅的;应该像德国,精确的,甚至应该像捷克像奥地利,浪漫的。可意大利,乱糟糟的,懒洋洋...
