Product Description
Product Description
An enchanting meditation on life's small pleasures, that combines Proust and Gaarder with a whiff of traditional France. La Premiere Gorgee de biere et autres plaisirs miniscules is a little book which has captured the imagination of the French Public. Only 112 pages long, it consists of 35 chapters, to be selected as the reader likes, each 1 featuring the authors musings on one of the small pleasures of life. These are both uniquely Gallic conjuring magical images of the France we know and love and universal. Each tale is recounted with a lively, almost childlike curiosity about the tiny things that make life worthwhile, and this special quality, along with the beauty of his writing, makes this an unforgettable, absorbing read. To be savoured at length by everyone.

If ever I am feeling down, this is the book to pick up and read--- delightful little chapters on simple pleasures, beautifully translated- similar to "We could almost Eat Outside" with its similar optimistic feel, I love it!
