Riassunto

An Englishman in Paris is Michael Sadler's delightful account of his first year in the French capital, describing with alternate affection and bemusement such continental confusions as the etiquette of flower-buying, the role of cricket in French foreplay, and the dangers "black butter" presents not just to one's cholesterol levels but also to dry-cleaning bills. Beautifully observed and very funny, An Englishman in Paris will delight armchair travellers and Francophiles alike.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

'[Sadler's] account of their shared experiences reveals much about French (and English) culinary and cultural mores. Sadler's writing is mischevious and exuberant, a Rabelaisian mix of earthiness and erudition that returns with shameless frequency to the call of the gut' OBSERVER
