Author Peter Mayle answers that question with wit, warmth, and wicked candor in A Year in Provence, the chronicle of his own foray into Provençal domesticity. Beginning, appropriately enough, on New Year's Day with a divine luncheon in a quaint restaurant, Mayle sets the scene and ... |

John Adams»rank: 10752par: David McCullough
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Left to his own devices, John Adams might have lived out his days as a Massachusetts country lawyer, devoted to his family and friends.

He found reason to dislike sectarian wrangling even more in the aftermath of war, when Federalist and anti-Federalist factions ... |

Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Amazon Best of the Month, May 2008: How did we go from Lyndon Johnson's landslide Democratic victory in 1964 to Richard Nixon's equally lopsided Republican reelection only eight years later? The years in between were among the most chaotic in American history, with an endless and unpopular war, riots, assassinations, social upheaval, Southern resistance, protests both peaceful and armed, and a 'Silent Majority' that twice elected the central figure of the age, a brilliant politician who relished the battles of the day but ended them in disgrace. ln Nixonland Rick ... |
