já aqui falei deste livro. reli-o, de forma a refrescar a memória e iniciar a leitura dos outros dois volumes ("merde happens" e "merde actually").
porque é um livro light e cómico. porque faz bem à alma rir.
fica aqui um cheirinho do que podem encontrar:
septembre: never the deux shall meet
why the french distrust all english-speakers, and more particularly anyone who can't speak french (for example, moi)
octobre: one foot in the merde
i visit different parts of paris touristy and less so, treading in plenty of dog-poop, literal and metaphorical.
novembre: make yourself chez moi
looking for an apartment. the garret myth-shared hole-in-the-floor toilets are "romantic"?
décembre: god save the cuisine
with my palate attuned to french cuisine, i try my best to get nostalgic about british food.
janvier: a maison in the country
i discover the EU-subsidized quaintness of rural france and decide to buy suspiciously cheap cottage.
février: make amour, not war
tensions as the iraq looms. meanwhile, a girl tries her best to turn me into a latin lover with an intensive course in french sexual traditions.
mars: the joy of suppositories
i explore france's widly generous medical system, and even try out typical french "treatment by the back door"
avril: liberté, égalité, get out of my way
i find that the french are secretly quite fond of english-speakers after all. this is especially true of the exotic florence.
mai: 1968 and all that
with countless long weekends, holiday allowances to be used up and the inevitable strikes, the french know that if you haven't finished your year's work by may 1, you're in the merde.
nota. aconselho a leitura em inglês - muitas das piadas devem perder-se nas traduções.
