Beschreibung

In "Tartarin On The Alps," Alphonse Daudet crafts a satirical yet affectionate portrayal of provincial life through the eyes of the larger-than-life character, Tartarin, who seeks adventure in the majestic Alps. This novel employs a blend of humor and vivid descriptive language, showcasing Daudet's keen observation of human foibles. Set against the glamorous backdrop of the Alpine landscape, the narrative navigates themes of ambition, illusion, and the absurdity of romanticizing danger, echoing the broader literary context of 19th-century French naturalism and realism. The book's rich imagery invites readers to experience the dichotomy between the allure of adventure and the often ridiculous nature of human aspiration. Alphonse Daudet, a prominent figure in French literature, was influenced by his experiences as a journalist and novelist in Provence and Paris. Born in 1840, Daudet's own encounters with the complexities of life and the contradictions of human nature shaped his writing. "Tartarin On The Alps" serves as both a continuation of his exploration of character and a witty commentary on the societal expectations faced by individuals in pursuit of grandeur. Highly recommended for readers who enjoy clever satire and vivid storytelling, "Tartarin On The Alps" not only entertains but also encourages critical reflection on our dreams and the often humorous realities that accompany them. Engage with Daudet's unique narrative style and discover the delightful absurdities that lie within the search for adventure.

    Cider is having a major moment, and The Cider Revival charts its history, resurgence, and a year with the vanguard makers of heritage cider 
      
    Cider is the quintessential American beverage. Drank by early settlers and founding fathers, it was ubiquitous and pervasive, but following Prohibition when orchards were destroyed and neglected, cider all but disappeared. In The Cider Revival, Jason Wilson chronicles what is happening now, an extraordinary rebirth that is less than a decade old. 
      
    Following the seasons through the autumn harvest, winter fermentation, spring bottling, and summer festival and orchard work, Wilson travels around New York and New England, with forays to the Midwest, the West Coast, and Europe. He meets the new heroes of cider: orchardists who are rediscovering long lost apple varieties, cider makers who have the attention to craftsmanship of natural wine makers, and beverage professionals who see cider as poised to explode in popularity. What emerges is a deeply rewarding story, an exploration of cider’s identity and future, and its cultural and environmental significance. A blend of history and travelogue, The Cider Revival is a toast to a complex drink.
